Analysis

A CDM fuel-switch project (HFO to LNG in DG sets) in India with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable leakage justification, but limited by a project-specific baseline, significant ERR figure discrepancies between the validation and monitoring reports, and absent CORSIA/CCP eligibility documentation. Only one monitoring period is on record, and several MRV parameters (FNRB method, usage monitoring) are not stated in the available documents.
