Henan Jiaozuo Yanxin Cement 4.5+7.5MW WHR Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM waste-heat-recovery project at a cement plant with a confirmed additionality test and no material findings, but severely limited by the absence of any monitoring or verification data, a 10× discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and the validation report, and a low-confidence document extraction. The project's integrity rests on a project-specific baseline and a 2008 grid emission factor, with no evidence of post-validation performance tracking.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠10× discrepancy in total claimed ERR: the PDD (Apr 2012) states 674,130 tCO₂e while the validation report (Jul 2012) states 67,413 tCO₂e — a factor-of-ten gap that undermines confidence in the credit quantity
• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the validation report classifies the baseline as project-specific, while an appendix references a jurisdictional baseline — the applicable baseline is ambiguous
• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports found in the extracted record; the crediting period (2012–2022) has fully elapsed with zero verified performance data
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
