Heilongjiang Chemical N2O Abatement Project
#5of 189 in Methane#46of 1084 in China#92of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A CDM N2O abatement project at a Chinese chemical plant with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a measured project-specific baseline. The project over-delivers relative to its pro-rata credit expectation, and no reversal or leakage concerns are identified. Key gaps include unstated safeguards details (FPIC, grievance mechanism) and a contradiction in the claimed ERR figures across monitoring reports.
Red Flags
- Contradiction in total claimed ERR: 138,234 (Aug 2012 report) vs 324,035 (Dec 2011 report) — a 2.3× discrepancy that undermines confidence in the baseline credit estimate
- Leakage justification shifts from 'deemed negligible' (Dec 2011) to 'quantified' (Feb 2013) within the same document type, suggesting the rationale was not firmly established at validation
- Sector classification in the registry record lists 'methane' for an N2O abatement project, indicating a possible data-entry or classification error in the registry
