Analysis

A CDM-era rice husk power project in India with a confirmed barrier additionality test and jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by an unusually large volume of validation findings (over 40 material issues), a 0% leakage deduction with no documented justification in the monitoring report, and multiple cross-document contradictions on baseline method, ERR figures, and additionality test type. The project's integrity is further weakened by reliance on a 2005 grid emission factor and the absence of verified ERR data in the extracted record.
