Biomass Power Generation Project by Everbright Alternative Energy (Dangshan) Limited
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB using a combined test, which supports the project’s core eligibility case.
missing Leakage treatment is weak because the verification report says it was not addressed, even though the monitoring report later called it negligible.
Transparency
verified The verification report names TÜV NORD JI/CDM Certification Program and the monitoring period is clearly stated as 2012-04-01 to 2013-03-31.
missing Total ERs claimed and verified are not stated in the extracted record, and several monitoring parameters were initially unsupported by actual data.
Claim Safety
verified The project uses ACM0018 under Gold Standard, and the verification report indicates additionality was checked by the VVB.
missing The baseline is project-specific and was last reassessed in 2012, while leakage handling remains inconsistent across documents.
Documentation
verified Four evidence documents were used, and the extraction confidence is high, which supports a reasonably complete record.
missing The verification report lists multiple material findings, showing that the original monitoring package had gaps before corrective actions were added.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report confirms additionality through a combined test and shows the project was reviewed by TÜV NORD JI/CDM Certification Program. On the downside, the baseline is project-based and only noted as last reassessed in 2012, which is not especially strong for robustness. Leakage is a material weakness: the verification report says it was not addressed, while the monitoring report later described it as negligible, so the evidence is mixed and conservative scoring is warranted.
Transparency
The monitoring period is clearly stated and the VVB is identified, which helps traceability. However, the extracted record does not state total ERs claimed or verified, and several monitoring parameters were initially missing actual data in the verification report. The corrective actions later filled some of those gaps, but the record still reflects uneven disclosure quality.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because the project sits under a recognized methodology and additionality was VVB-confirmed. Still, the project-specific baseline and the leakage inconsistency create over-crediting risk. No CORSIA or CCP status is stated in the extracted record, so dual-claim risk cannot be ruled out from the available evidence.
Documentation
Documentation is fair but not strong: four documents were used and extraction confidence is high, which supports reliability. At the same time, the verification report lists several material findings about missing or unclear monitoring evidence, showing that the original documentation package was incomplete before revisions. The crediting period extends beyond the stated monitoring period, but the record does not provide enough detail to fully assess recency and completeness across all claims.
Overall
Overall, this is a mid-quality project record with some credible strengths but meaningful evidence gaps. I privileged the verification report over the monitoring report on leakage because it is the later, higher-priority assurance document, so the leakage issue remains a negative despite the earlier negligible statement. The contradiction between those documents, plus the missing ER totals and initial monitoring gaps, lowers confidence in the claim even though additionality and safeguards are reasonably supported.
Audit Analysis
The project has some strengths: additionality was confirmed by the VVB, safeguards were documented, and the verification report shows corrective actions were taken after monitoring gaps were identified. However, the record also shows weak leakage treatment, a project-specific baseline, and several documentation issues that reduce confidence in the claimed environmental performance.
Project Description
Developer: China Everbright International Limited Type: Biomass, or Liquid Biofuel - Electricity Size: Large scale Methodology: ACM0018 Electricity generation from biomass residues in power-only plants Crediting period: 2012-04-01 → 2019-03-31 Estimated annual credits: 162503 tCO2e SDGs: Goal 13: Climate Action, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Red Flags
- The verification report says leakage was not addressed, while the monitoring report described it as negligible; this inconsistency weakens reliability.
- The verification report identified missing or unclear monitoring evidence for air, water, soil, pollutants, and employment, indicating incomplete MRV at first pass.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a fully reconciled leakage assessment with a quantified deduction or a clear, document-backed justification across all reports.
- Disclose the total ERs claimed and verified, plus a complete monitoring table for all parameters with source-linked evidence.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
