Analysis

This Gold Standard household biogas programme in Sichuan has a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a measured baseline reassessed in 2023, but is severely undermined by over 40 corrective actions covering calculation errors in baseline, project, and net emission reductions, a major discrepancy in verified ERR figures between the 2023 and 2024 verification reports, unaddressed reversal risk, and a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible.' The project's internal QA/QC appears weak, and the delay in re-validation beyond the first crediting period further erodes confidence in the integrity of the credit stream.
