Everbright Zhenjiang Bundled Solar PV Power Generation Project_preCDM VER

Audit Analysis

A pre-CDM Gold Standard solar PV project in China verified by TÜV NORD CERT with a jurisdictional baseline and no material findings. The VVB reduced the project's self-reported emission reductions by roughly 39% (from 4,162 to 2,533 tCO₂e), indicating the project initially over-claimed. Key gaps include the absence of an explicitly stated additionality test type, no buffer pool, and unconfirmed CORSIA/CCP eligibility.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The monitoring report claims 4,162 tCO₂e while the verification report confirms only 2,533 tCO₂e for the same period — a 39% reduction by the VVB that signals the project's internal calculations were materially overstated.
• ⚠Additionality test type is not stated in the extracted record; while the AMS-I.D methodology embeds additionality requirements and the VVB reported no material findings, the specific test (investment, barrier, or regulatory) is not documented in the available data.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unconfirmed in the available documents, leaving dual-channel or double-claiming risk unaddressed.
