Analysis

The Ensenada Hydroelectric Project (CDM-8867, Chile) is a small 6.6 MW run-of-river hydro project validated in 2013 under AMS-I.D. While additionality was confirmed via an investment test by TÜV SÜD, the validation report recorded 20 material findings—including IRR calculation errors, a misapplied financial benchmark, and sensitivity-analysis deficiencies—that seriously undermine the robustness of the additionality claim. No monitoring data, buffer-pool allocation, or permanence mechanism is present in the extracted record, and five contradictions between the PDD and the validation report (ERR magnitude, baseline method, leakage treatment, grid emission factor, and crediting period) raise significant data-reliability concerns.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish CORSIA eligibility per project.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
