Analysis

A CDM fuel-switch project (naphtha to natural gas) at a large Indian chemical plant with VVB-confirmed additionality and quantified leakage, but hampered by multiple corrective actions (missing host-country approval evidence, unclear governance responsibilities), a project-specific baseline, and a monitoring period delivering roughly 79% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation. The absence of a verified ERR figure and several unquantified monitoring parameters limit confidence in the reported reductions.
