Drolia Energy from Waste Heat - CDM Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project (waste heat recovery) with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but severely limited post-validation data: no monitoring reports, no verified emissions reductions, and a low-confidence extraction record. The baseline classification is contradicted between the PDD and the validation report, and the 0% leakage deduction rests on a bare 'deemed negligible' assertion without supporting analysis.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method is contradictory: the PDD (Aug 2012) describes a project-specific baseline while the validation report (Oct 2012) classifies it as jurisdictional; the validation report is privileged as the later, authoritative document, but the discrepancy undermines confidence in the baseline construction.
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures are present in the extracted record despite the crediting period ending in April 2022, making it impossible to confirm whether the 192,020 tCO2e claim was actually delivered.
• ⚠Grid emission factor of 0.8399 tCO2/MWh is anchored to 2009; no updated or reassessed factor is documented, raising the risk that the baseline overstates or understates actual grid intensity.
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified solely as 'deemed negligible' with no quantitative analysis or scenario description in the available documents.
