Dalian Wafangdian LFG Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A standard VCS landfill gas power generation project in China using the well-established ACM0001 methodology, with additionality confirmed by the VVB via an investment test and no reversal risk. The project carries moderate risk from a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction justified only qualitatively, and six inter-document contradictions that reduce confidence in data consistency. ERR delivery is slightly above the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating no over-crediting.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Six contradictions between the PDD, verification report, and monitoring report (baseline type, additionality test, ERR figures, benefit sharing, leakage justification, and legal capture requirement) reduce confidence in data reliability
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' in the verification report, while the monitoring report describes it as 'quantified' — the basis for the zero deduction is unclear
• ⚠Capture of LFG is stated as legally required in the monitoring report but not in the PDD; if legally mandated, the additionality of the specific power-generation activity requires careful scrutiny
• ⚠Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
