Energy efficiency measures in "Technopolis".

Audit Analysis

This CDM energy-efficiency project (CDM-1794, India) has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a standardised AMS methodology, but is undermined by a ten-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and the validation report, contradictory leakage justifications, and a complete absence of verified monitoring data. The 14 corrective action requests raised during validation and the low extraction confidence across 12 documents further erode confidence in the project's data integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten-fold discrepancy in total ERR: the PDD (Feb 2009) states 84,480 tCO₂e while the validation report (Mar 2009) states 8,448 tCO₂e — a 10× difference that cannot be reconciled from available documents
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report states leakage is 'deemed negligible' (0% deduction) while an appendix describes it as 'quantified', leaving the true treatment unclear
• ⚠14 Corrective Action Requests and 10 New Information Requests were raised and closed during validation, indicating significant documentation deficiencies at the time of approval
• ⚠No monitoring report, verified ERR, FNRB value, or usage-rate data is present in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm whether claimed reductions were actually achieved
