Gul Ahmed Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Project

Audit Analysis

The Gul Ahmed Combined Cycle Gas Turbine project received VVB-confirmed additionality via a combined test, but the validation report carried six corrective action requests including unsubstantiated IRR assumptions, a missing justification for a 37% efficiency increase, and an absent Initial Environmental Examination. No monitoring data, verified emission reductions, or FNRB figures were found in the extracted record, and the project's crediting period ended in January 2017 with no subsequent verification evidence available. The combination of a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with a contradictory appendix, and low document extraction confidence limits confidence in the claimed 249,595 tCO₂e.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Six corrective action requests at validation, including unsubstantiated IRR assumptions and a missing justification for a 37% energy efficiency increase, raise over-crediting risk
• ⚠Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report was not available at validation (CAR 5), leaving environmental safeguards unverified
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures found in the extracted record for a project whose crediting period ended in 2017
• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (leakage 'deemed negligible') and an appendix (leakage 'quantified') undermines confidence in the 0% leakage deduction
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means key data may be missing or misread
