"Replacement of fossil fuel by biomass in Pyro-Processing" in Rajasthan by M/s JK Lakshmi Cement Limited (JKLCL)

Audit Analysis

A 2006 CDM biomass fuel-switching project at a cement kiln in Rajasthan, verified by SGS UK, with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and quantified leakage. However, the project-specific baseline, absence of any verified ERR data, low extraction confidence, and a large number of initial corrective actions (all resolved) limit confidence in the credit quality. The project's crediting period has expired (2016), and no monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification report or monitoring report data is available in the extracted record; total ERR verified is not stated, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 1,835,120 tCO2e lifetime claim.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, with one evidence document listed as 'unknown', reducing reliability of the structured data.
• ⚠Twenty-plus corrective actions were raised during validation (missing host-country approval, PDD template deviations, project boundary conflicts, outdated methodology versions, missing leakage enclosure, incomplete additionality tool steps), indicating significant initial documentation weaknesses.
• ⚠Baseline is project-specific rather than jurisdictional or standardised, with no reassessment date recorded in the available documents.
