BOG and COG Utilisation for Combined Cycle Power CDM Project in Jinan Iron & Steel Works
#178of 204 in China#188of 213 in CDM (UNFCCC)#7of 15 in ACM0012
Audit Analysis
A CDM energy-efficiency power generation project in China with a barrier additionality test and project-specific baseline, but significant data gaps including no verified emissions reductions, no monitoring period, and a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total expected credits. The 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification, and no buffer pool or permanence safeguards are documented.
Red Flags
- Seven-fold discrepancy in total expected emissions reductions: the PDD (Oct 2013) states 11,135,894 tCO2e while the validation report (Nov 2013) states 1,590,842 tCO2e — a 7× gap that raises serious questions about the reliability of the project's credit estimates
- No verified emissions reductions or monitoring period data found in any available document, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against claims
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis, which is weak for a power-generation project where displaced electricity could be generated by higher-emission sources
- No buffer pool or permanence safeguard documented, leaving credits exposed to reversal if the combined-cycle plant is decommissioned or repurposed
