Analysis

A CDM biomass fuel-switch project at a Renault plant in Morocco with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable leakage treatment, but undermined by a ten-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and validation report, the absence of any monitoring or verification data, and a low-confidence extraction record. The project's avoidance-based design limits permanence risk, yet the sheer volume of corrective actions (19) during validation and the removal of the investment test from the additionality case raise questions about the robustness of the underlying methodology.
