Household Biogas Project in Madhya Pradesh & Jharkhand
#11of 268 in Biogas#196of 975 in India#191of 1339 in Verra (VCS)#6of 60 in AMS-I.E
Audit Analysis
A VCS household biogas project in central India with a confirmed combined additionality test, quantified 5% leakage deduction, and no material findings. The project delivered approximately 93% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored year, indicating no material over-crediting. Key gaps include the absence of a stated buffer pool, missing feedstock sustainability and carbon content data, and a project-specific baseline without a documented reassessment date.
Red Flags
- Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a biogas project where digester failure or abandonment could cause reversals
- Feedstock sustainability and carbon content of the biogas are not documented, which is a material gap for a biogas project under AMS-I.E
- Usage rate (both assumed and verified) is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm that the 0.864 FNRB is being applied to a validated utilisation figure
- Multiple contradictions between the 2023 and 2024 verification reports on safeguards, FPIC, grievance mechanism, and benefit-sharing suggest inconsistent reporting across verification cycles
