Analysis

A 4 MW waste-heat recovery captive power project in India registered under CDM (2005–2015 crediting period), validated by SGS with a combined additionality test. The project type carries no carbon-stock reversal risk, and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for waste-heat recovery, but four cross-document contradictions—including a 40% discrepancy in claimed ERR between two monitoring reports and a baseline-method conflict—undermine data reliability. Key monitoring outputs (verified ERR, usage monitoring method) are absent from the available documents.
