Analysis

The San Carlos Bagasse Cogeneration Project is a CDM-era biomass energy project with a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and an exact match between claimed and verified emissions reductions. However, significant contradictions between the 2005 validation report and the 2012 monitoring report — particularly a 57% downward revision of the lifetime ex-ante estimate and a shift in baseline classification — undermine confidence in the underlying data. The thin leakage justification (0% deduction, 'deemed negligible') and the use of a 2004 grid emission factor for a project operating through 2011 introduce moderate over-crediting risk.
