Flare Gas Recovery in Tabriz Oil Refinery
#4of 5 in Iran#961of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A CDM small-scale flare gas recovery project at an Iranian oil refinery with a well-supported investment-test additionality assessment confirmed by the VVB, but limited by a project-specific modeled baseline, absence of a buffer pool, and sparse monitoring documentation. The 0% leakage deduction is justified as quantified but warrants scrutiny given the refinery context. Low extraction confidence and a contradiction in ERR figures between the validation report and a financial document reduce overall confidence in the data record.
Red Flags
- Contradiction in total ERR: validation report states 302,150 tCO₂e while a financial document (dated 2017-04-23, one month before validation) references 40,000 — basis of the discrepancy is unclear
- Minimum extraction confidence rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, undermining data reliability
- Monitoring period, usage monitoring method, and FN-RB method are all not stated in the extracted record, limiting verifiability of actual performance
