Dongyuan Xiantang Landfill Gas Power Generation Phase I Project

Integrity

The extracted record indicates additionality was confirmed by the VVB and assessed using a combined test, which supports additionality robustness (validation/verification documentation referenced). The monitoring report (2023-11-02) reports no material findings and no corrective actions required, which supports MRV and implementation quality. However, leakage is explicitly marked as not addressed in the extracted record and no leakage deduction is evidenced, which weakens integrity for a methane/landfill gas activity. The baseline is described as project-specific and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in the extracted record, adding uncertainty around baseline validity over time.

Transparency

The monitoring report (2023-11-02) clearly states the monitoring period (2022-01-25 to 2023-02-28) and provides verified emission reductions of 65,256 tCO2e. The VVB is identified as APPLUS+ LGAI TECHNOLOGICAL CENTER S.A., supporting audit traceability. However, the claimed ER total is not found in the extracted record, limiting the ability to reconcile claimed versus verified values. Several methodological inputs are not fully evidenced in the extracted record (e.g., grid emission factor value), which reduces transparency of recalculation by third parties.

Claim Safety

Over-crediting risk is moderated by the presence of VVB-confirmed additionality and a stated verified ER quantity for the monitoring period (monitoring report dated 2023-11-02). At the same time, leakage is not addressed in the extracted record, which can increase the risk that credited reductions are overstated if leakage pathways exist or are material. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, so buyers cannot rely on those labels without further registry confirmation. The baseline approach is project-specific with no reassessment timing found in the extracted record, which can elevate uncertainty for long crediting periods.

Documentation

Documentation coverage is relatively strong: the extracted record lists a monitoring report, validation report, PDD, and issuance, with 9 documents used and high extraction confidence. The monitoring report is recent (dated 2023-11-02) and aligns with a current crediting period starting 2022-01-25. Nonetheless, several important fields are not found in the extracted record (e.g., claimed ERs, leakage deduction percentage, buffer pool percentage, reversal events detail), which suggests incomplete extraction or incomplete disclosure in the available set. Overall, the document set supports a reasonable assessment but leaves notable gaps for independent replication.

Overall

No contradictions are reported in the extracted record, so scores are not adjusted for internal document discrepancies. The project benefits from VVB-confirmed additionality, a clearly stated monitoring period, and a reported verified ER total, supporting moderate overall quality. The main downward drivers are the absence of leakage treatment in the extracted record and missing key quantitative fields (including claimed ERs and some baseline-related details), which increase uncertainty and greenwashing/over-crediting risk. Note: if integrity were to fall below 4.0, an overall cap would apply under the gate rules, but the current integrity score remains above that threshold.
