Audit Analysis
A CDM-era natural gas combined-cycle cogeneration project with VVB-confirmed additionality but significant data gaps: no monitoring reports, no verified emissions reductions, and two material contradictions in the grid emission factor and baseline method. The low extraction confidence and absence of post-validation data make it difficult to confirm that claimed credits were actually delivered.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor discrepancy: validation report uses 0.6286 tCO2/MWh while an appendix cites 0.7494 tCO2/MWh — the lower value inflates claimed credits by roughly 16%
- Baseline method contradiction: validation report states a project-specific baseline while an appendix references a jurisdictional baseline, creating ambiguity about which baseline was actually applied
- No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures found in the extracted record, so the 411,533 tCO2e lifetime claim is entirely unverified
- Five material findings at validation (including a VAT calculation error and a non-compliant heat-to-electricity ratio) required corrective actions before registration
