Analysis

This Gold Standard domestic biogas project in India has a combined additionality test, quantified 5% leakage deduction, and a project-specific baseline reassessed in 2022, but the verification report raised 12 material findings and 7 corrective actions covering MRV transparency, sampling confidence, and commissioning-date issues. FPIC was not conducted per the most recent monitoring report, and several key data points (CORSIA eligibility, CCP status, end-use tracking, carbon content testing) are absent from the extracted record. The project delivered below its ex-ante estimate, which is conservative, but the volume of unresolved CARs undermines confidence in the reported figures.
