Henan Tanghe Solar Cooker Project

Audit Analysis

The Henan Tanghe Solar Cooker Project has a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment by TÜV Rheinland and uses a standardized CDM methodology (AMS-I.C. v19.0), but suffers from a critical 10× discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and the validation report, a project-specific baseline with no reassessment data, and a complete absence of monitoring or verified-credit data. The low extraction confidence and limited documentary record further undermine confidence in the project's data integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠10× discrepancy in total claimed ERR: the PDD (June 2012) states 939,620 tCO₂e while the validation report (July 2012) states 93,962 tCO₂e — a factor-of-ten difference that raises serious data-reliability concerns
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified credit figures, or monitoring-period data found in any available document despite the crediting period (2013–2022) having fully elapsed
• ⚠Five material findings in the validation report, including an inconsistency in the number of townships (8 vs 19) and unresolved questions on thermal-efficiency maintenance and cooker re-allocation procedures
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis, in a project where users could revert to biomass or grid cooking
