Dori Alimentos Ltda - Biomass Based Project - Brazil

Audit Analysis

A long-running VCS biomass avoidance project (AMS-I-C) with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal events, but burdened by 12 corrective actions, calibration deficiencies that forced a 10% discount, a project-specific baseline, and a 0% leakage deduction that is only loosely supported by the 'quantified' justification. The project is not CORSIA-eligible and operates under a reputable VVB (RINA Services), but the volume of material findings and documentation contradictions limits confidence in the robustness of the credit claims.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Twelve corrective actions required, including recalculation of emission reductions per AMS-I-C methodology and a market analysis to confirm biomass availability, indicating the credit quantity may not be fully supported
• ⚠Calibration certificates for road weight and flow meters were missing for parts of the monitoring period, forcing a 10% discount; a flow meter was not installed at the Rolândia unit at all during the period
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% despite the 2025 verification report acknowledging that transportation leakage over 200 km was calculated; the justification label 'quantified' is inconsistent with a zero deduction
• ⚠Nine contradictions across documents (benefit sharing, safeguards, FPIC, grievance mechanism, leakage justification, crediting period, additionality test type, ERR figures) reduce confidence in the documentary record
