El Angel Cogeneration Project

Audit Analysis

The El Angel Cogeneration Project is a CDM biomass energy project in El Salvador with a confirmed additionality assessment and conservative credit delivery (approximately 53% of the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period). However, a contradiction between the validation report and monitoring report on baseline methodology (project-specific vs. jurisdictional) and a weakly justified 0% leakage deduction introduce moderate uncertainty into the baseline and additionality claims.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the validation report (2007) describes a project-specific baseline while the monitoring report (2009) describes a jurisdictional baseline — the two documents are inconsistent on a fundamental design parameter.
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis or feedstock-sustainability assessment in the extracted record.
• ⚠No verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record; only the claimed figure (90,047 tCO₂e) from the monitoring report is present, limiting independent cross-checking.
