Chenxi MSW Landfill Site LFG Pollution Treatment and Comprehensive Utilization Project
#37of 204 in China#125of 629 in Verra (VCS)#2of 9 in AMS-III.G
Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered landfill gas project in China with VVB-confirmed additionality and no material findings, but with a project-specific modeled baseline, a legally required capture obligation that weakens the additionality case, and a notable grid emission factor discrepancy between the verification and monitoring reports. The project delivered approximately 92% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating reasonable but not exceptional performance.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor differs between the verification report (0.8587) and the monitoring report (0.57025), both dated 2024-11-08 — a same-date discrepancy that undermines data consistency
- LFG capture is stated as legally required, which is a significant additionality concern even though the VVB confirmed the common-practice test
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in the extracted record, leaving permanence risk for equipment-failure reversal unquantified
- Benefit-sharing description is inconsistent: the validation report (2023) states it was described, while the verification report (2024) states it was not
