Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered landfill biogas recovery and electricity generation project in China with VVB-verified additionality and standard AMS methodologies, but hampered by 11 material findings, 12 outstanding corrective actions, a project-specific modeled baseline, and no monitoring data yet available to verify the 456,696 tCO₂e ex-ante estimate. The project is in its early crediting period (started September 2024) with significant documentation gaps that limit confidence in the claimed reductions.
Red Flags
- 11 material findings and 12 corrective actions remain in the validation record, including missing land ownership documentation beyond 2026, incomplete equipment specifications, and insufficient grievance mechanism description
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the PDD states leakage was 'not addressed' while the validation report records it as 'deemed negligible' with a 0% deduction
- No monitoring period data exists; the 456,696 tCO₂e figure is the ex-ante lifetime estimate only, with no post-issuance verification to confirm actual delivery
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
