KCIL 4.2 MW Waste Heat to Power Project in Gujarat, India

Audit Analysis

The KCIL 4.2 MW waste-heat-to-power project in Gujarat uses a standardised methodology (AMS-III.Q) and a reasonable grid emission factor, but the available record consists of a single PDD with no verification report, no monitoring data, and no VVB-confirmed additionality test. The project's avoidance-based design and negligible-leakage treatment are appropriate for the sector, yet the absence of any third-party verification or quantified monitoring results leaves the 16,556-tonne lifetime claim uncorroborated.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No additionality test type or VVB verification is recorded in the available documents; the PDD does not evidence a confirmed additionality assessment.
• ⚠Only one document (the PDD) is in the record; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB audit trail is available to corroborate the 16,556 tCO₂e lifetime claim.
• ⚠The PDD is dated 29 July 2024, approximately one month after the crediting period ended (30 June 2024), raising questions about whether the documentation was prepared retrospectively.
• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented, and no reversal-event history is available to confirm the absence of reversals.
