Analysis

The Sasol N2O abatement project (CDM-0961) is a technology-based industrial project with a reasonable investment-test additionality assessment and a measured project-specific baseline, but it is undermined by eight material findings, five corrective actions, and a contradiction in the leakage justification between the PDD and the monitoring report. Verified emission reductions are not stated in the extracted record, and several key monitoring parameters (FNRB method, usage monitoring method) are absent, limiting confidence in the MRV chain. The project delivered roughly 58% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, which is conservative but the underlying ERR figures are inconsistent across documents.
