Jinjia Jiayi CMM Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A coal-mine-methane power generation project in China with VVB-verified additionality and a measured project-specific baseline, but weakened by a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible,' unaddressed reversal events, and no stated buffer pool. The verified emissions for the first monitoring period (~205,738 tCO₂e) are consistent with the claimed figure and represent roughly 88% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation, indicating no over-crediting. Several minor documentation findings and inter-document contradictions on baseline characterisation and ERR figures reduce confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% justified solely as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis in the verification report
• ⚠Reversal events explicitly 'not addressed' in available documents and buffer pool percentage not stated
• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (baseline 'measured') and the PDD (baseline 'modeled') on the same date
• ⚠Six material findings in the verification report, including misclassified monitored parameters and a missing parameter in the emissions calculation table
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status both not stated in any available document
• ⚠Gas capture legally mandated — additionality in doubt
