Analysis

This Gold Standard biogas project in rural Sichuan has a VVB-verified additionality assessment and a measured, recently reassessed baseline, but is undermined by an extensive list of material findings including fundamental calculation errors in baseline, project, and reduction figures, a 14.8% gap between claimed and verified ERR, and a verified reduction that exceeds the ex-ante estimate. The project's integrity and claim safety are significantly weakened by these MRV deficiencies, the absence of a stated buffer pool, and unresolved contradictions across documents.
