PRR-GEI ENTREPALMAS S.A.S

Audit Analysis

The Entrepalmas biogas project in Colombia has VVB-confirmed additionality and a recently reassessed (2025) project-specific baseline, and it delivered roughly 219% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2023–2024 monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. However, multiple methodological deviations in MRV (missing flow meters, unsynchronised SCADA, absent calibration certificates) and the absence of a buffer pool or explicit permanence mechanism weaken confidence in the integrity of the credit stream. Unit inconsistencies across issuance documents and several unresolved corrective actions further reduce transparency.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Multiple methodological deviations in the verification report: missing biogas humidity measurement, unsynchronised SCADA for steam accounting, absent dedicated electrical meters for boilers, and missing flow meters for composting wastewater — all requiring corrective action before the next monitoring cycle.
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, and reversal risk is marked 'not addressed' (No aplica), leaving permanence unquantified for a project whose methane-avoidance benefit could reverse if operations cease.
• ⚠Unit inconsistencies across issuance documents (145,986 t vs 145.986 kt) create ambiguity in the official credit quantity and suggest a lack of standardised reporting.
• ⚠FPIC is recorded as not conducted; while potentially inapplicable for a waste/biogas facility, the absence of any documented free, prior, and informed consultation is a safeguards gap.
