El Panul

Audit Analysis

El Panul is a landfill gas capture project in Chile verified by TÜV NORD CERT, with additionality confirmed via a combined test. However, the verification report lists 14 material findings (all corrected), the registry status is 'Late to verify,' and several key parameters (FNRB, buffer pool, CORSIA eligibility) are absent from the extracted record. The ERR figures show a contradiction between the PDD (36,148) and the monitoring/verification reports (17,973), likely reflecting different crediting-period bases, which introduces uncertainty into the over- or under-delivery assessment.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Registry status is 'Late to verify,' indicating the project is overdue for its verification cycle, which undermines the currency of its MRV data.
• ⚠14 material findings were identified in the verification report, including incorrect calibration dates, wrong default waste-composition values, and a misapplied Factor F (0.48 vs. 0.498), all of which had to be corrected before issuance.
• ⚠The PDD reports an ERR of 36,148 while the monitoring and verification reports report 17,973; the basis difference (likely CDM 10-year ex-ante vs. VCS pre-CDM period) is not explicitly reconciled in the documents.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification and no quantified analysis, which is thin for a landfill gas project where operational changes could divert waste streams.
