Henan Taikang Longyuan Methane Recovery Project in new paper-production line

Audit Analysis

A CDM methane-capture project in China's paper sector with a solid investment-test additionality assessment confirmed by RINA, but the available record is limited to the 2012 validation report and PDD with no monitoring or verification reports. The project-specific modeled baseline and the complete absence of performance data prevent any verification of the 369,270-tonne lifetime claim, and the low extraction confidence further weakens the evidentiary base.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports are present in the extracted record despite the crediting period (2013–2022) having fully elapsed, making it impossible to confirm actual emission reductions against the 369,270-tonne claim.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which undermines confidence in the completeness of the extracted facts.
• ⚠The baseline is project-specific and modeled rather than jurisdictional or standardised, and no baseline reassessment date is recorded in the available documents.
