Energy Efficiency Improvement in Electric Arc Furnace at Indian Seamless Metal Tube Limited (ISMT), Jejuri, Maharashtra
#60of 1329 in Industrial#190of 975 in India#229of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A CDM energy-efficiency project at an Indian steel plant with VVB-confirmed additionality and a standardized AMS methodology, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, a thin 'deemed negligible' leakage justification, and a validation phase that required 15 corrective and non-material observations. The monitoring report shows the project delivered roughly 73% of its pro-rata expected reductions for the elapsed period, which is acceptable but not strong.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis in the monitoring report
- Fifteen CARs and NIRs were raised during validation, including missing baseline condition, unclear project boundary, and unsupported technological barriers — indicating weak initial documentation
- Grid emission factor is from 2005 and no updated factor or reassessment is documented for the monitoring period
- One of the six evidence documents is of unknown type, reducing confidence in the completeness of the record
