Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project (steam optimization at an evaporator, India) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a straightforward technology-based design, but undermined by a 60% grid emission factor discrepancy between the PDD and verification report, a ~48% under-delivery against the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, multiple material findings requiring correction, and contradictory leakage justifications across documents. The project is not high-risk in permanence (no carbon-stock reversal exposure), but data reliability and baseline robustness warrant caution.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
