Ganey Hadas Landfill Gas to Renewable Electricity project

Audit Analysis

The Ganey Hadas landfill gas project in Israel was verified by DNV under CDM methodology ACM0001 v8.1, with a combined additionality test confirmed. However, the project record is significantly undermined by a corrupted source document, five inter-document contradictions (including a critical flip on whether gas capture was legally required), 20 material findings in the verification report, and the absence of verified emission reduction figures. The project presents moderate-to-high data reliability risk.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Contradiction on whether landfill gas capture was legally required: the 2010 monitoring report states it was required, while the 2011 report states it was not — this directly undermines the additionality claim if the earlier value is correct
• ⚠At least one key source document is described as corrupted binary data with garbled characters, limiting the reliability of extracted facts
• ⚠20 material findings were raised during verification, including 3 corrective actions (host-country approval letter, project start-date justification, IRR spreadsheet corrections), indicating significant PDD gaps
• ⚠No verified emission reduction figure (total_err_verified) is available in the extracted record, making over- or under-crediting impossible to assess
• ⚠Crediting period start and end dates differ between the validation report (2009-06-01 to 2015-07-31) and the PDD (2009-07-06 to 2016-07-06)
