Hunan Xiangtan Landfill Gas Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis
A well-established landfill gas power generation project under VCS methodology ACM0001 with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, a measured project-specific baseline, and delivery tracking close to ex-ante expectations (~98% of pro-rata). The main concerns are corrective actions flagged by the VVB regarding additionality demonstration and emission reduction calculations, an unstated buffer pool, and several document-level inconsistencies that, while resolvable, reduce confidence in the record.
Red Flags
- Corrective actions required by the VVB include 'Demonstration of additionality' and 'Emission reductions', indicating the verification body found deficiencies in the project's additionality evidence and/or reduction calculations that needed remediation.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving the project's dual-channel (CORSIA + voluntary market) risk unassessed.
