Audit Analysis
The Ekurhuleni Landfill Gas Recovery Project is a CDM-registered LFG capture project with a standard methodology (ACM0001 v19) and a confirmed additionality basis, but the available record is limited to a validation report and PDD with no monitoring data, low extraction confidence, and several corrective actions outstanding. The project-specific modeled baseline and absence of a documented buffer pool introduce moderate integrity risk, while the lack of verified emission figures prevents any meaningful claim-safety assessment.
Red Flags
- No monitoring report or verified emission reduction figures found in the extracted record; the 825,795 tCO2e claim cannot be independently corroborated.
- Seven corrective actions were required in the validation report, including provision of FOD model calculations and transparent emission-reduction calculations, suggesting the PDD was not fully robust at validation.
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one of the three listed evidence documents is typed as 'unknown', reducing reliability of the extracted data.
