Audit Analysis
The Heze AWMS project has VVB-confirmed additionality and quantified leakage treatment, but suffers from severe under-delivery (approximately 23% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation over the 2.5-year monitoring period) driven by multiple farm closures and poor pork market conditions. The absence of a stated buffer pool, a project-specific modeled baseline, and 15 material findings with 3 corrective action requests raise meaningful integrity concerns. The project remains in verification-approval-requested status with unresolved contradictions across documents.
Red Flags
- Project delivered only ~23% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation (67,630 tCO2e actual vs ~290,747 tCO2e expected for the elapsed period), with four of seven farms ceasing production
- Four contradictions across documents (additionality test type, ERR figures, ex-ante lifetime estimate, crediting period) indicate data reliability issues
- 15 material findings and 3 corrective action requests identified during verification, including monitoring deviations and calculation inconsistencies
Credit Vintages
