Analysis

This CDM waste-gas-to-electricity project at JSW Steel was ultimately approved but carried an unusually heavy burden of corrective actions (over 30 CARs) covering baseline calculation errors, an incorrect emission factor, missing IRR calculations, and a scope-classification mistake. The pro-rata delivery for the 2012–13 monitoring period is reasonable (~94% of the annual ex-ante expectation), but the project-specific baseline, the unresolved relationship with sister project CDM-0350, and the use of a 2007 grid emission factor leave meaningful over-crediting risk. Documentation is voluminous (23 sources) and readable, yet the initial PDD quality was poor.
