Analysis

A CDM small-scale hydropower project with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by a 377-fold discrepancy in claimed emission reductions between two monitoring-report dates, a halved ex-ante lifetime estimate, four outstanding corrective actions, and a grid emission factor frozen at 2006 values. The 6-day monitoring window and absence of any verified ERR figure or FNRB methodology leave the credit quantity largely unverifiable from the available record.
