Henan Sheqi Solar Cooker Project

Audit Analysis

The Henan Sheqi Solar Cooker Project has a solid additionality foundation (VVB-verified investment test) and a reasonable leakage position for its technology, but suffers from significant data gaps: no monitoring or verification reports are available, the claimed ERR figure is contradicted by a 10× discrepancy between the validation report and the PDD, and extraction confidence is low. The project's claims cannot be independently verified against actual performance data.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR discrepancy: the validation report (Jul 2012) states 84,566 tCO2 while the PDD (Jun 2012) states 845,660 tCO2 — a factor-of-10 difference that undermines confidence in the project's quantification
• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports found in the extracted record; total verified ERR and monitoring period are entirely absent
• ⚠Five material findings in the validation report, including an inconsistency in the number of townships (8 vs 15, corrected to 14), indicating data-quality issues at validation
• ⚠Four corrective actions were required at validation (LOA from DNA, modalities of communication, township count correction, methodology update), suggesting the project was not fully compliant at the time of validation
