Audit Analysis

The Ahome Landfill Gas Project is a straightforward methane-capture project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable zero-leakage assumption, but the available record is limited to validation-stage documents with no monitoring reports or verified emission reductions. A contradiction between the PDD and validation report on baseline methodology, combined with low extraction confidence and numerous null fields, limits confidence in the project's long-term performance claims.

Red Flags

  • No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures available in the extracted record; the 400,459 tCO2e claimed figure cannot be cross-checked against actual performance
  • Baseline methodology contradiction: the PDD (July 2012) describes the baseline as fully modeled, while the validation report (July 2012) characterises it as mixed (measured and modeled)
  • Low extraction confidence on key documents, meaning critical data may have been missed or misread during document processing
  • Grid emission factor dated to 2008 with no evidence of periodic updating over the 7-year crediting period
