6.5MW WHR Project in Huasheng Tianya Cement Co., Ltd.

Audit Analysis
A 6.5 MW waste-heat-recovery project at a Chinese cement plant with VVB-confirmed additionality and smart-meter monitoring, but undermined by contradictory baseline-method descriptions across documents, an inconsistent leakage justification, and a grid emission factor drawn from 2004 data. The project is a standard CDM energy-efficiency credit with moderate data reliability concerns.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the 2011 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the PDD — the two characterisations are not reconciled in any available document.
- Leakage justification is stated as 'not addressed' in the 2011 monitoring report yet 'deemed negligible' in the 2010 report, leaving the 0 % deduction without a consistent, documented rationale.
- Grid emission factor of 0.8145 tCO₂/MWh is drawn from 2004 data; no updated or reassessed factor is found in the extracted record.
- Total verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record, preventing an independent cross-check of the 29,235 tCO₂e claimed for the 2010–2011 monitoring period.
