Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project (waste-heat recovery for captive power at NRL, India) with VVB-confirmed additionality but significant operational and methodological concerns. The first monitoring period delivered only about 15% of the pro-rata expectation, six material findings were raised (including an unanticipated natural-gas addition to the utility boiler), and three corrective actions were required. The 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification, and several MRV details (verified ERR, usage-monitoring method, FNRB) are absent from the extracted record.
