Hanyang Municipal Solid Waste Incineration for Energy Generation Project in Haining City

Audit Analysis

A CDM municipal solid waste incineration project in Haining, China, validated by SGS United Kingdom with a combined additionality test confirmed by the VVB. The project carries moderate integrity concerns due to a project-specific baseline, 11 closed corrective action requests, and the absence of a verified ERR figure to benchmark against the 515,590 tCO₂e lifetime claim. Documentation is reasonably complete across 14 sources with high extraction confidence, but several key monitoring and verification fields remain unreported.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠11 Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation and subsequently closed, indicating material issues in the original project design that required expert-driven revision
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not stated in any available document, making it impossible to confirm whether the 515,590 tCO₂e lifetime claim is supported by actual monitoring data
• ⚠Crediting period is inconsistent between the validation report (2010-01-01 to 2016-12-31) and the monitoring report (2011-07-01 to 2018-06-01), creating ambiguity about the actual project duration
• ⚠Leakage is described as quantified in the monitoring report, but the specific deduction percentage is not stated in any extracted document
