Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered biogas project (ACM0010) on a swine farm in Qinghai, China, with VVB-confirmed additionality and no corrective actions required. However, the project-specific modeled baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, unresolved FPIC contradiction, and low extraction confidence in the source documents limit confidence in the credit's robustness. The claimed and verified ERR figures are identical (260,806 tCO₂e), suggesting the VVB confirmed the ex-ante estimate without adjustment.
Red Flags
- FPIC status contradicts between the 2022 PDD (conducted) and the 2024 PDD (not conducted); the more recent document indicates FPIC was not performed
- Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and data reliability is compromised
- One of the eight source documents is classified as 'unknown' type, indicating incomplete document identification
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
