Handan LFG Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

The Handan LFG Power Generation Project is a CDM landfill gas project with a confirmed investment additionality test and no reported reversal events, but it carries moderate risk due to a project-specific modeled baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with inconsistent justification across documents, and a notable discrepancy between the ex-ante ERR estimate (739,977) and the monitoring report figure (592,004). No verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record, limiting the ability to confirm actual delivery against expectations.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR discrepancy: the validation report estimates 739,977 tCO2e over the crediting period while the 2023 monitoring report states 592,004 — a ~20% gap that is not explained in the extracted record
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification described as 'not addressed' in the monitoring report, contradicting the validation report's 'deemed negligible' statement
• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented (CDM project), leaving no financial backstop against potential reversal
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not stated in any available document, preventing independent confirmation of actual credit issuance
