Audit Analysis

A CDM biogas-to-electricity project at a Chinese paper mill with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and reasonable safeguards, but a project-specific baseline, several unquantified parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring), and a first monitoring period that delivered only 55.97% of the PDD estimate. The project is conservative in its actual delivery, which limits over-crediting risk, but the documentation gaps and calibration delays noted by the VVB temper confidence in the MRV chain.

Red Flags

  • Actual emission reductions were only 55.97% of the PDD estimate for the comparable period, flagged as a material finding in the verification report
  • Calibration of monitoring equipment was delayed during the monitoring period; temperature gauges for flaring efficiency were not calibrated (flare efficiency set to 0% conservatively)
  • FNRB value, usage monitoring method, and CORSIA eligibility are all not stated in any available document
  • 15+ corrective actions were required by the VVB, spanning construction dates, technology descriptions, monitoring alignment, and SD evidence
