The GCC Project Verifier, Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd, verifies and certifies that the GCC Project Activity “Panda Van Biogas Project”:

(a)   has correctly described the Project Activity in the Project Submission Form (version 10, dated 15/12/2023) including the applicability of the approved CDM methodology, ACM0022 Version 3.0 meets the methodology applicability conditions, is additional and is expected to achieve the forecasted real and additional GHG emission reductions, complies with the monitoring methodology, has appropriately conducted local and global stakeholder consultation processes and has calculated emission reduction estimates correctly and conservatively;

(b)   is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to the estimated 865,763 t CO₂eq (for the fixed 10 years crediting period), as indicated in the PSF, which are additional to the reductions that are likely to occur in absence of the Project Activity and complies with all applicable GCC rules and therefore requests the GCC Program to register the Project Activity;

• 00 Forward Action Request (FAR);
• 36 Corrective Action Requests (CARs);
• 09 Clarification Requests (CLs);

All findings have been resolved by the project owner (except the FAR which needs to be resolved during emission reduction verification).
