BAITANG AONONG SWINE FARM COMPOSTING PROJECT

Audit Analysis

This VCS swine-farm manure project (VCS-4168) underwent a fundamental technology change from aerobic composting to anaerobic digestion during validation, triggering multiple corrective actions including a methodology switch to AMS-III.D and a revised project design document. Additionality is confirmed via a barrier test verified by the VVB, but the permanence justification ('not applicable') is thin for a digester-based project, no buffer pool percentage is stated, and no monitoring or verification data is available. The project is at an early stage with significant documentation gaps and a low extraction confidence rating.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Project name still reads 'Composting' while the actual technology is anaerobic digestion — a fundamental design change that required a methodology switch (AMS-III.D) and a revised PDD, raising questions about the robustness of the original project design.
• ⚠No monitoring or verification data exists (no monitoring period, no verified ERR), so the 280,750 tCO₂e lifetime claim is entirely ex-ante and untested against actual performance.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted record.
