Installation of Low Green House Gases (GHG) emitting rolling stock cars in metro
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was tested using a barrier approach and the VVB confirmed it in the verification report by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH.
missing Leakage treatment is weakly documented, with a 0% deduction but no clear justification in the verification report, and reversal handling is not clearly addressed.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period is clearly stated as 1 January 2013 to 28 December 2017, and the verifier is identified in the verification report.
missing The record does not state the usage monitoring method, baseline reassessment date, or any public registry completeness details beyond the CDM reference.
Claim Safety
verified The verified emission reductions are lower than the claimed amount, which suggests the verifier applied some downward adjustment rather than accepting the full claim.
missing The baseline is project-specific rather than a more robust standardized or jurisdictional baseline, and leakage justification is inconsistent across the extracted documents.
Documentation
verified Multiple document types were used, including the PDD, monitoring report, and verification report, and the verifier is named.
missing The extraction confidence is only medium, the crediting period is not stated, and the verification report records several closed CARs and CLs.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report from TÜV NORD CERT GmbH confirms additionality through a barrier test, which is a positive sign. The monitoring period report states that no special reversal event occurred and no project equipment was exchanged during the monitoring period, but the record does not provide a buffer pool or a clear permanence framework. Leakage is weakly supported because the extracted facts show a 0% deduction, yet the justification is not addressed consistently.
Transparency
Transparency is moderate because the monitoring period is clearly defined and the verifier is named, but several core MRV fields are missing. The record does not state the usage monitoring method, baseline reassessment timing, or any FNRB-related inputs, and registry completeness cannot be assessed from the extracted facts alone. The gap between claimed and verified reductions is visible, but the underlying calculation trail is not fully exposed in the available documents.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is limited by the project-specific baseline and the incomplete leakage narrative. The verified emission reductions of 226,516 are below the claimed 242,713, which is reassuring, but the difference is not explained in the extracted record. Because CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, dual-claim risk cannot be ruled out from the available evidence.
Documentation
Documentation quality is fair but not strong. The evidence set includes the PDD, monitoring report, and verification report, and the verifier is identified, but the extraction confidence is only medium and the crediting period is not stated. The verification report also records multiple CARs and CLs that were closed, which suggests the file required substantial follow-up before acceptance.
Overall
The main contradiction concerns leakage: one extracted statement says it was deemed negligible, while the verification report also leaves the leakage justification not addressed. I privileged the more explicit verification-report wording for scoring because it is the higher-priority assurance document and it signals weaker documentation quality. A second contradiction concerns reversals: the monitoring report says none were reported, while the verification report says the issue was not addressed; I again privileged the verification report because it is more recent and more conservative, which lowers confidence in permanence and documentation.
Audit Analysis
The project has some positive integrity signals, including VVB-confirmed additionality, a named verifier, and no reported equipment exchange during the monitoring period. However, the record has important evidence gaps around baseline reassessment, leakage justification, and usage monitoring, and the verification report shows multiple closed corrective actions and clarifications, which reduces confidence. Overall, this looks like a moderately credible project with notable documentation and transparency weaknesses rather than a high-confidence issuance case.
Project Description
Developer: Deactivated Projects Type: Energy Efficiency - Transport Sector Size: Small Scale Methodology: AMS-III.C. Emission reductions by electric and hybrid vehicles Crediting period: 2007-12-29 → 2017-12-28 Estimated annual credits: 47053 tCO2e SDGs: Goal 13: Climate Action, Goal 12: Responsible Production and Consumption, Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Red Flags
- Leakage is not well explained: one part of the record says it was deemed negligible, but the verification report also leaves the justification not addressed.
- Several key MRV details are missing, including baseline reassessment timing, usage monitoring method, and any stated buffer pool or reversal treatment.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a clear leakage calculation note and reconcile the conflicting statements on whether leakage was deemed negligible or left unaddressed.
- Disclose the baseline reassessment history, usage monitoring method, and any buffer or permanence treatment, along with the registry status for CORSIA and CCP eligibility.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
