Audit Analysis
A small-scale CDM biomass energy project (rice husk, 7.5 MW) in Thailand using the simplified AMS-I.D methodology, validated by TÜV NORD CERT. Additionality was confirmed via a barrier test after initial evidence gaps were resolved, and the project delivered approximately 98% of its pro-rata emission reduction expectation in the first monitoring period. Key weaknesses include a thin leakage justification (0% deemed negligible), absent safeguards documentation (no FPIC or grievance mechanism), and several unverified monitoring parameters.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantified analysis of alternative rice husk uses (e.g., animal feed, soil amendment, other energy applications)
- No FPIC, grievance mechanism, or feedstock sustainability assessment found in any available document
- Grid emission factor dated 2007 (0.551 tCO2/MWh) with no evidence of periodic update or sensitivity analysis
- Usage rate assumed at 0.9 (plant availability factor) but no verified usage rate found in the monitoring report; material findings flagged the 0.9 factor and a 6.5 MW vs 7.5 MW capacity discrepancy
