Hemagiri Mini Hydel Project in Karnataka State, India

Audit Analysis

The Hemagiri Mini Hydel Project is a methodologically sound CDM hydro project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but the available record contains no monitoring data, a ten-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and validation report, and low extraction confidence across the document set. The project's core design is credible, yet the absence of verified performance data and the ERR contradiction limit confidence in the actual credit volume.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten-fold discrepancy in total claimed emissions reductions: the PDD states 88,490 tCO₂e while the validation report states 8,849 tCO₂e over the same crediting period — a factor-of-10 error that undermines data reliability
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified emissions reductions found in the extracted record; the project's crediting period (2010–2020) has fully elapsed with no performance data available
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
