Audit Analysis
A CDM waste-heat power project with strong additionality evidence (negative IRR without CDM, limited common practice) verified by TÜV NORD, but weakened by a thin leakage justification, a baseline-method contradiction between the PDD and monitoring report, and several missing transparency data points (FNRB, usage monitoring, verified ERR). No reversal events or corrective actions were reported, and the ERR delivery is consistent with pro-rata expectations.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' in the monitoring report, while the validation report does not address leakage at all — a contradiction that leaves the justification thin and inconsistent across documents.
- Baseline method is labelled 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the PDD, creating ambiguity about whether the baseline scenario is truly project-specific or drawn from jurisdictional averages.
- No buffer pool, permanence mechanism, or reversal-risk mitigation is documented for this energy-efficiency project, leaving the fate of issued credits if the plant shuts down unaddressed.
