Fuel switchover from higher carbon intensive fuels to Natural Gas (NG) at Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) in Phulpur Village, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh by M/s Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO)

Audit Analysis

A CDM fuel-switchover project at IFFCO's Allahabad fertilizer plant replacing naphtha and heavy fuel oil with natural gas, verified by DNV. Additionality is well-supported by a combined investment-and-barrier test confirmed by the VVB, and the project delivered roughly 53% of its pro-rata expected reductions, indicating conservative crediting. Key gaps include an unquantified leakage percentage, a project-specific baseline, and missing CORSIA/CCP status information.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the monitoring report but the actual deduction percentage is not stated in any available document, making it impossible to verify the magnitude of the leakage treatment.
• ⚠The crediting period in the PDD (2007-11-15 to 2017-11-15) differs from the period in the 2023 monitoring report (2008-03-31 to 2018-03-30), indicating a post-approval adjustment that is not fully explained in the extracted record.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving the double-claiming risk unassessed.
