Audit Analysis
A CDM biogas project in Shandong, China, with VVB-confirmed combined additionality and a quantified (but unquantified-in-percentage) leakage treatment. However, the verification report identified six material findings including a significant deviation from the registered PDD (different generator configuration), two outstanding corrective actions, and the absence of a buffer pool or verified ERR figure, leaving meaningful uncertainty about the robustness of the credit claims.
Red Flags
- Implementation deviated from the registered PDD: 3 sets of 1,063 kW co-generators installed instead of the 7 sets of 500 kW specified in the PDD, requiring a notification of changes to the UNFCCC secretariat
- Total verified ERR is not stated in any available document; only the claimed figure of 404,283 tCO2e (2022 monitoring report) is available, preventing independent verification of actual reductions
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented for this CDM project, and no reversal events are confirmed or excluded
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the monitoring report but the actual deduction percentage is not stated in any extracted document
