Guizhou Bijie Yuxing CMM Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A CMM power generation project under VCS methodology ACM0008 with VVB-verified additionality and a conservative first-period delivery ratio (~76% of pro-rata expectation). However, the more recent PDD indicates methane capture is legally required, which materially weakens the additionality claim, and multiple inter-document contradictions (baseline type, leakage justification, benefit sharing) reduce confidence in the data record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The more recent PDD (2025-02-15) states that CMM capture is legally required, which directly undermines the additionality claim despite VVB verification of a combined test.
• ⚠Three material findings (outdated Tool 27, outdated emission factor source, inconsistent monitoring equipment counts) required corrective actions, indicating quality-control gaps in the monitoring plan.
• ⚠The validation report contains an internal contradiction on benefit sharing (both true and false recorded on the same date), raising questions about document consistency.
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage is stated in the available documents, leaving permanence risk unquantified.
• ⚠Gas capture legally mandated — additionality in doubt
