Audit Analysis
The Feira de Santana Landfill Gas Project has a solid additionality foundation confirmed by DNV via a combined test, but suffers from a project-specific baseline with a contradictory characterization (measured vs. modeled across documents), a thin 0% leakage justification, and several critical MRV data points that are absent from the extracted record. The project delivered roughly 55% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, which is conservative but reflects limited operational data.
Red Flags
- Baseline characterization contradicts between the validation report (modeled) and the monitoring report (measured), undermining confidence in the baseline methodology
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantified analysis, which is thin for a landfill gas project where uncontrolled CH4 emissions are a known risk
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is stated in the extracted record, leaving reversal risk unaddressed
- Multiple critical MRV fields (FNRB method, usage monitoring method, verified ERR, usage rate) are absent from the available documents
