Grasim Cement: Energy efficiency by up-gradation of clinker cooler in cement manufacturing
#460of 1329 in Industrial#519of 975 in India#747of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)#6of 12 in AMS-II.D
Audit Analysis
A CDM energy-efficiency project at a cement plant in India with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no reversal events, but hampered by a project-specific baseline, 13 material findings on PDD clarity, and several key monitoring data points (verified ERR, FNRB, usage rates) that are absent from the extracted record. The project delivered roughly 95% of its pro-rata emission-reduction expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating no material over-crediting.
Red Flags
- 13 material findings (CARs and NIRs) in the validation report flag unclear stakeholder identification, ambiguous monitoring plan, and missing documentary evidence for the project start date and retroactive credit claim
- Project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional or standardised baseline, limiting comparability and increasing design risk
- No verified ERR figure, FNRB method, or usage-monitoring method found in the extracted record, leaving the MRV chain incomplete
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
