Substitution of fossil fuels for the use of sustainable biofuels manufactured by Linares Biodiesel Technology S.L.U.
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The validation report confirms additionality using an investment test and VVB validation is indicated.
missing Baseline is project-specific and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in available documents.
Transparency
verified The VVB is identified (Certificadora Gallega del Noroeste S.L.) and core project identifiers/methodology are stated in the validation record.
missing No monitoring period or verified/claimed ER figures were found in the extracted record, limiting transparency on outcomes.
Claim Safety
verified Leakage is at least treated as a quantified item in the project documentation (PDD/validation record).
missing CORSIA/CCP status and key quantitative parameters (e.g., leakage deduction value, verified ERs) are not stated in available documents, increasing greenwashing/over-crediting risk.
Documentation
verified Two core documents are available (PDD and validation report dated 2022-03-15) with high extraction confidence.
missing No monitoring/verification report was included in the extracted record, leaving key operational evidence gaps.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The validation record indicates additionality was assessed via an investment test and confirmed by the VVB (validation report, 2022). The baseline approach is project-specific (PDD/validation record), and no baseline reassessment date was found, which weakens confidence that baseline assumptions remain current. Leakage is described as quantified (PDD/validation record), but the actual deduction value is not present in the extracted record, limiting the ability to judge conservativeness.
Transparency
Transparency is constrained because no monitoring period and no claimed or verified emission reduction totals were found in the extracted record (only PDD and validation report are available). While the VVB name and methodology (ACM0017 v3.1) are clearly stated in the validation record, the absence of monitoring/verification outputs prevents assessment of MRV performance and any discrepancies between claimed and verified results.
Claim Safety
Over-crediting/greenwashing risk cannot be well bounded because the extracted record lacks verified ERs, monitoring details, and the numeric leakage deduction. The project’s eligibility/quality labels relevant to claims (CORSIA eligibility and CCP status) are not stated in available documents, so buyers cannot easily determine whether additional claim constraints apply. The baseline is project-specific, which typically requires stronger ongoing evidence to support conservative crediting.
Documentation
Documentation coverage is moderate: the extracted record includes a PDD and a validation report dated 2022-03-15, and readability/extraction confidence is high. However, the absence of monitoring and verification reports in the extracted record leaves major gaps on achieved results, data collection methods, and any verification findings beyond validation.
Overall
No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so scores are not reduced for internal inconsistencies. The overall score is mainly limited by missing quantified performance evidence (monitoring period and verified ERs) and missing key risk parameters (leakage deduction value, CORSIA/CCP status). If later-stage monitoring/verification documentation exists, it would materially change transparency and claim-safety assessments.
Audit Analysis
The project has a documented additionality case (investment test) and was validated by a VVB, which supports basic integrity. However, key quantifications needed to judge over-crediting risk (verified ERs, monitoring period, and leakage deduction value) are not present in the extracted record, limiting confidence in the claims.
Project Description
Calculation of mitigations of GHG emissions due to the operation of a biofuel plant owned by Linares Biodiesel Technology S.L.U. The GHG emissions mitigations consecuent of the biofuel consumption and, therefore substitution of the fossil fuel use, are greater than the ones that would occur if the said plant would not be in operation (baseline scenario).
Red Flags
- No verified emission reductions or monitoring period found in the extracted record, so performance and MRV quality cannot be assessed.
- Leakage is described as quantified, but the actual leakage deduction percentage is not found, creating over-crediting risk.
Credit Vintages
Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.
Il marketplace dichiara i vintage: 2021, 2022 (non verificato).
Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Publish the monitoring report(s) and verification report(s) showing the monitoring period, data sources, and claimed vs verified emission reductions.
- Disclose the quantified leakage deduction percentage and the underlying calculation/assumptions, and state CORSIA eligibility and CCP status explicitly.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
Risk Indicators
