SHANDONG BEICHEN BREEDING SWINE FARM COMPOSTING PROJECT

Audit Analysis

A VCS composting project under the simplified AMS-III.F methodology with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, but limited by the absence of any monitoring data, a thin leakage justification, and a questionable 'not applicable' permanence claim for a soil-carbon storage activity. Three material findings and two outstanding corrective actions from the validation report further temper confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Permanence: the validation report states reversal is 'not applicable' for a composting project where carbon is stored in semi-stable compost/soil, and no buffer pool percentage is recorded — reversal risk appears unaddressed rather than genuinely absent.
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis; the PDD (Aug 2022) originally did not address leakage at all.
• ⚠No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record, so actual performance cannot be assessed against the 75,313 tCO₂e lifetime claim.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, with only the validation report and PDD clearly identified among 9 documents used.
