Analysis

The Copiulemu landfill gas project (CDM-0096, Chile) is a methane capture project with a VVB-verified investment additionality test, but a critical contradiction between the 2005 validation (capture not legally required) and the 2013 PDD (capture legally required) undermines the additionality claim. Operational failures during the monitoring period (flare breakdown, instrument outages) and the CDM EB's rejection of MP2 for insufficient measurement confidence further weaken the project's credibility. The verified emissions reductions for the 11-month monitoring period represent only about 7% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation, raising significant over-crediting concerns.
