Audit Analysis
A CDM biomass energy project (bagasse power at a sugar mill) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable 81% verified-to-claimed delivery ratio, but undermined by a project-specific baseline, 23 corrective actions flagged in the PDD, and several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring, buffer pool) left unstated in the available record.
Red Flags
- 23 corrective actions were required on the PDD, spanning additionality documentation, baseline scenario corrections, monitoring plan gaps, and data-source issues — indicating the original submission had substantial methodological weaknesses
- FNRB value, usage monitoring method, and buffer pool percentage are all absent from the extracted record, leaving key MRV and permanence parameters unverifiable
- Crediting period dates differ between the PDD (2007-11-09 to 2017-11-09) and the 2012 monitoring report (2008-02-01 to 2018-01-31), creating ambiguity about the actual registration window
