Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified No material findings or corrective actions are reported in the monitoring report (2018).
missing Baseline, additionality, and leakage treatment are not evidenced in the extracted record (baseline method not found; leakage not addressed).
Transparency
verified Monitoring period is clearly stated as 2017-01-01 to 2017-12-31 in the monitoring report (2018).
missing VVB name and verified ER total are not found in the extracted record, limiting MRV traceability.
Claim Safety
missing Only a claimed ER total of 52,614 tCO2e is available (monitoring report, 2018), with no verified ER total found in the extracted record.
inferred CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in available documents, leaving buyer-claim risk unclear.
Documentation
verified Two core document types are available (PDD and monitoring report) with high extraction confidence.
missing Key verification/issuance artifacts (e.g., verification report with VVB details and verified ERs) are not present in the extracted record.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The monitoring report (2018) covers a 2017 monitoring period and reports no material findings or corrective actions, which is a positive signal for internal consistency. However, the baseline method is not found in the extracted record, and the baseline reassessment timing is also not stated, weakening confidence in baseline validity. Additionality is also not evidenced in the extracted record (no test type and no confirmation by a VVB). Leakage is flagged as not addressed and no leakage deduction is provided, which is a material integrity gap for an avoidance project.
Transparency
The monitoring report (2018) provides a clear monitoring period (2017) and a claimed emissions reduction total of 52,614 tCO2e. However, the verified emissions reductions total is not found in the extracted record, and the VVB name is also not stated, reducing auditability and registry-grade traceability. With only two documents available (PDD and monitoring report), the public record appears incomplete for a full MRV chain (monitoring → verification → issuance).
Claim Safety
Over-crediting risk is elevated because the extracted record lacks the baseline method and any verified ER figure; only the monitoring report (2018) claim is available. Leakage is not addressed and no deduction is stated, which increases the risk that credited reductions are overstated. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in available documents, so buyers cannot easily substantiate higher-integrity claims or assess double-claim exposure through those channels.
Documentation
Documentation coverage is partial: the extracted record includes a PDD and a monitoring report, and extraction confidence is high. However, key third-party assurance elements are missing from the extracted record, including the verification report (and thus the VVB identity) and the verified ER total. The monitoring report date (2018-10-29) is reasonably aligned with the 2017 monitoring period, but the crediting period spans 2012–2019, and the extracted record does not show a complete sequence of monitoring/verification across that period.
Overall
Overall quality is constrained by missing core integrity evidence (baseline approach, additionality confirmation, leakage treatment) and by the absence of a verified ER total and VVB details in the extracted record. One contradiction must be managed: safeguards are marked as not mentioned in the monitoring report (2018) but mentioned in the PDD (2019). For safeguards-related interpretation, the PDD is privileged as the more comprehensive design document, but the inconsistency indicates disclosure/implementation uncertainty and lowers confidence. Given these gaps and the contradiction, scores are kept in the low-to-mid range; note the gate rule that if documentation were to fall below 3.0, transparency would be capped post-scoring (not triggered here).
Audit Analysis
This CDM landfill-gas avoidance project has limited extractable evidence on core integrity elements such as the baseline approach, additionality confirmation, and leakage treatment. While a monitoring report exists for 2017 with a stated emissions reduction claim, the lack of verified ER figures and missing VVB/verification details increase over-crediting and greenwashing risk.
Project Description
Why we chose this project: “Small developing economies such as Mauritius represent ideal case studies for decarbonization opportunities in the power sector, because traditionally they have had very inefficient, carbon-intensive supply chains. This includes, in particular, the burning of fuel oil or diesel in small-scale generators. And because of the small market size (population:
Red Flags
- Baseline approach is not stated in the extracted record, despite being central to landfill-gas quantification under ACM0001.
- Additionality test type and whether a VVB confirmed additionality are not found in the extracted record.
- Leakage is marked as not addressed and no leakage deduction is provided.
- Verified emissions reductions are not found in the extracted record (only a claimed total is available).
- Safeguards disclosure is inconsistent between the monitoring report and the PDD.
Credit Vintages
Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.
Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide the verification report (including VVB identity) and the verified emissions reduction total for the 2017 monitoring period.
- Disclose the baseline approach used under ACM0001 (including key parameters and any reassessment) and explicitly address leakage with a quantified deduction or a justified negligible assessment.
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
Additionality not evidenced in extracted record
Avoidance type, but reversal/buffer details not stated
Leakage not addressed and no deduction stated
Baseline method not found in extracted record
Safeguards inconsistently documented; no FPIC/grievance
CORSIA/CCP status not stated
