Indonesia Biogas Programme

Audit Analysis

The project shows several positive integrity signals (VVB verification of additionality, no material findings, and quantified leakage justification) but has important data gaps and contradictions (ERRs, FNRB, usage rates, and missing leakage deduction and buffer provisions). Documentation is moderately complete but extraction confidence is only medium and some key values conflict across sources, raising moderate concern for over-crediting and double-claiming risk given CORSIA eligibility.

Project Description

In rural Indonesia farming depends on a healthy natural environment. Because of the increasing threat from the changing climate, farming income is put at risk. Domestic biogas provides a sustainable way for small farmers with livestock to reduce dependence on firewood and expensive fossil fuels for cooking. Biogas significantly improves living conditions and helps to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. The Indonesia biogas programme distributes biogas digesters as a local sustainable energy source by developing a commercial, market-oriented sector. This provides business opportunities for construction companies and employment for masons. Farmers receive a subsidy from the carbon finance and have access to loans through local cooperatives. Project Impact and Benefits There is no smoke development when cooking with biogas. This means health benefits for the whole family, in particular for women and children. In addition, cooking is easier and faster. The empowerment of women is supported by providing equal access for men and women to certified biogas training. The training also includes the use of bio-slurry as a fertiliser. Women have the opportunity to benefit from both biogas and bio-slurry. The bio-slurry is an excellent and free alternative to chemical fertilisers. Various studies have shown that bio-slurry has a very positive effect on agricultural productivity. 28.557 Biogas installations have been installed and 9.043 Households use bio-slurry as fertiliser. The project has achieved the following impacts to 2023: SDG 13: Climate Change – 528.781 Tonnes of CO2 reduced (verified 2011-2023) SDG 1: No Poverty – Savings in fuel expenditure   SDG 2: Zero Hunger –  9.043 households use bio-slurry as fertiliser, increasing crop production SDG 5: Gender Equality – 61 minutes time savings per day (certified by W+ standard) resulting in time available for economic activities or leisure SDG 7:

Red Flags

• ⚠ Contradictory emission and activity figures across multiple monitoring/verification reports (ERRs, FNRB, usage rates).
• ⚠ Project is CORSIA-eligible and CCP status not stated — increased double-claim risk; no leakage deduction percentage or buffer pool documented.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

• Provide a clear, recent baseline reassessment and document any buffer pool or reversal coverage and a leakage deduction percentage.
• Resolve contradictions by publishing reconciled monitoring and verification tables (ERRs, FNRB, usage rates) with clear units and a traceable audit trail; confirm CCP/CORSIA claim status.
