Analysis

The Lircay Run-Of-River hydro project has a sound additionality assessment (combined test, VVB-verified) and a jurisdictional baseline reassessed in 2020, but the record is marred by a significant discrepancy in claimed emission reductions between the monitoring report (279,390 tCO₂e) and the validation report (59,381 tCO₂e), a material finding that grid emission factors were initially calculated using gross rather than net calorific values, and the absence of a verified ERR figure in the available documents. The project is a standard CDM hydro displacement project with reasonable leakage treatment, but the data reliability issues and missing verified figures limit confidence in the claimed reductions.
