Qinghai Muge Swine Farm Manure Management System GHG Mitigation Project
#977of 1084 in China#1113of 1339 in Verra (VCS)#57of 66 in ACM0010
Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered swine manure biogas project (ACM0010 v08.0) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a 15-year crediting period, but severely limited by the absence of any monitoring data, a five-fold discrepancy in lifetime ERR between the PDD and the validation report, and a low-confidence document extraction. The project-specific modeled baseline and missing buffer pool and leakage figures further weaken confidence in the claimed mitigation.
Red Flags
- Five-fold discrepancy in lifetime ERR: the PDD (Nov 2022) states 1,096,053 tCO₂e while the validation report (Jul 2024) states 213,801 tCO₂e — a factor-of-5 gap that undermines data reliability
- No verified monitoring data available (total ERR verified is not stated in any extracted document)
- Leakage deduction described as 'quantified' in the validation report but no percentage or value is provided
- Low extraction confidence across the document set, with one document of unknown type
