Analysis

A large-scale Gold Standard biogas PoA (240,000+ rural households in Sichuan) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a measured project-specific baseline, but undermined by an unusually high volume of corrective actions across multiple verification cycles, absence of a buffer pool, and reversal risk that was never explicitly addressed. The project delivers verified reductions below claimed values, which is conservative, yet the systemic monitoring errors and documentation gaps raise questions about the robustness of the MRV chain.
