EnviroServ Chloorkop Landfill Gas Recovery Project.

Audit Analysis

The Chloorkop landfill gas project has a confirmed additionality assessment and no reported reversal events, but is undermined by a project-specific modeled baseline, a contradictory leakage justification, and fourteen material findings including a noted significant decrease in annual emission reductions versus the original PDD. The ERR figures in the PDD and monitoring report differ substantially, and several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring, end-use tracking) are absent from the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Material finding CL-04 reports a significant decrease in annual average emission reductions compared to the original PDD, raising over-crediting risk in the initial registration
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the 2020 monitoring report states leakage was 'quantified' while the 2015 validation report states it was 'deemed negligible', yet the deduction is 0% in both cases
• ⚠Fourteen material findings (CARs and CLs) span PDD template integrity, missing technical specifications, inconsistent LFG utilization descriptions, and unjustified exclusion of project emissions from electricity consumption
• ⚠No grievance mechanism and no FPIC conducted, despite safeguards being mentioned in the validation report
