TEIL Biomass Grid Supply Power Project, Deoband, Uttar Pradesh

Audit Analysis

The TEIL Biomass Grid Supply Power Project in Deoband, Uttar Pradesh is registered under the UCR standard using a CDM methodology (ACM0006 v16.0) with a jurisdictional baseline and a claimed 632,500 tCO₂e over a 10-year crediting period. However, the available record consists solely of a single PDD; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification was found, leaving additionality, verified emissions reductions, and permanence protection entirely unconfirmed. The 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification, and no buffer pool or reversal-risk mitigation is documented.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification body (VVB) is identified in any available document, and no additionality test type or VVB confirmation of additionality was found in the extracted record.
• ⚠Only a single PDD (dated 2023-05-08) is available; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB audit report was located, making it impossible to confirm that the 632,500 tCO₂e claim was independently verified.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification, which is thin for a biomass project where displaced fuel use (cooking, heating) is a plausible leakage pathway.
• ⚠No buffer pool, permanence protection mechanism, or reversal-event tracking is documented, leaving the project's long-term integrity unsecured.
• ⚠The PDD is dated May 2023, after the 2013–2022 crediting period had already ended, raising questions about whether the project was retroactively registered or the PDD was a late revision.
