Gansu Wuwei Liangzhou Grouped AWMS GHG Mitigation Project

Audit Analysis

This grouped anaerobic waste management project in Gansu, China, has a VVB-confirmed regulatory additionality test and a standardized methodology (AMS-III.D), but suffers from significant gaps: FPIC was not conducted, the buffer pool is unconfirmed, the project-specific baseline is modeled rather than measured, and the biogas electricity units were not yet installed at validation. Three corrective actions remain open and extraction confidence is low, limiting confidence in the overall data quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite the project affecting local communities in Gansu, China
• ⚠Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
• ⚠Biogas electricity generation units were not yet installed at the time of validation (expected June 2024), meaning the project had not yet begun operations
• ⚠Three corrective actions remain open, including a missing calculation equation and unaddressed different start dates for project instances
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
