Green House Gas Abatement through installation of Biomass fired boiler at Limtex Tea and Industries Ltd

Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass boiler project in India with a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment by SGS UK, but significant gaps in leakage treatment (contradicted between PDD and validation report), no monitoring or verification data available, and a project-specific baseline. The low extraction confidence and absence of any post-validation monitoring records limit the ability to verify actual emissions reductions against the 195,120 tCO2e lifetime claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage treatment is contradictory: the PDD (March 2011) states leakage was quantified, but the validation report (March 2011, 9 days later) records it as not addressed — a material gap for a biomass project where feedstock diversion is a realistic leakage pathway
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verification reports, or actual emissions reduction data were found in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the 195,120 tCO2e claim was delivered
• ⚠Nine Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation (all subsequently closed), indicating non-trivial documentation or methodology issues at the time of approval
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and critical data may be missing from the record
