Audit Analysis
The Jintai biogas project in China has a VVB-verified additionality assessment and no reported reversal events, but is undermined by a project-specific modeled baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with thin justification, and 12 corrective actions flagging calculation inconsistencies and documentation gaps. A significant discrepancy between the monitoring report (10,171 tCO₂e) and the verification report (29,849 tCO₂e) for the same period raises data-reliability concerns that temper confidence in the claimed reductions.
Red Flags
- ERR discrepancy: monitoring report states 10,171 tCO₂e while the verification report states 29,849 tCO₂e for the same monitoring period — a ~3× gap that undermines data reliability
- 12 corrective actions required, including inconsistencies between baseline/project emission values in the MR and MR sheet, outdated Tool 6 version, and unit errors in the ER calculation
- FNRB (fraction of non-recovered biogas) value not stated in any document, a critical parameter for ACM0010 biogas projects
