Analysis

The India Organic Waste Management Programme is a long-running biogas project (since 2012) with a VVB-confirmed barrier additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but it is undermined by a project-specific modeled baseline, the absence of a buffer pool, 36+ corrective actions raised across documents, and multiple unresolved contradictions in ERR figures and methodology descriptions. The verification report (2024) confirms operations, yet the sheer volume of documentation deficiencies and the exact match between claimed and verified ERR figures raise concerns about the depth of independent scrutiny.
