CLEAN BIO-ENERGY INITIATIVE IN MADHYA PRADESH AND MAHARASHTRA
#230of 387 in India#386of 629 in Verra (VCS)#12of 26 in AMS-I.E
Audit Analysis
A VCS biogas/biomass energy project in central India with confirmed additionality and no material findings, but weakened by the absence of a buffer pool, unaddressed reversal risk, a project-specific baseline, and significant contradictions in ERR and leakage figures across documents. The project is mid-crediting-period with a reasonable monitoring record, yet key eligibility and permanence safeguards remain undocumented.
Red Flags
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unmitigated for a biogas project where feedstock supply disruption could cause reversal.
- Reversal events are explicitly marked as 'not addressed' in the extracted record, with no contingency or reversal-risk analysis found.
- A ten-fold discrepancy in the claimed ERR figure (44,281 tCO₂e in the 2025 PDD vs. 452,723 tCO₂e in the 2024 PDD) is unexplained and raises questions about the project's actual credit volume.
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the monitoring report describes it as 'quantified' while the verification report records it as 'not addressed.'
- CCP status and CORSIA eligibility are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel and aviation-sector risk unassessed.
