Gansu Huanghe Chaijiaxia Hydropower Station Project

Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered hydropower project in China with a jurisdictional baseline, VVB-confirmed investment additionality, and no permanence risk (non-AFOLU). The verified emissions reductions match the claimed figure exactly, and the two minor material findings were resolved without corrective actions. Key gaps include unstated CORSIA/CCP status, absent FPIC documentation, and a verification report dated well after the crediting period ended.
Red Flags
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
- FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) is not documented in the extracted record despite the project operating in a community-adjacent setting in China
- The verification report is dated 7 December 2022, more than four years after the crediting period ended on 8 January 2018, raising questions about the timeliness of the verification cycle
