Shuangbaotai Animal Manure Management System GHG Mitigation Project in Anhui Province

Integrity

The monitoring report confirms no biogas explosion or leakage during the 2023 monitoring period, and the VVB confirms additionality. At the same time, leakage is explicitly not addressed, and no buffer pool percentage or baseline reassessment date was found, which weakens the robustness of the integrity case.

Transparency

The project has a named verifier, Shenzhen CTI International Certification Co., Ltd (CTI), and a clearly stated monitoring period from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31. But key transparency items such as total claimed versus verified emission reductions, the usage monitoring method, and any FNRB method are not stated in the available documents.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is helped by the project being a Gold Standard biogas electricity activity with safeguards mentioned, including FPIC, a grievance mechanism, and benefit sharing. However, leakage is not addressed, and the project is marked CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not stated, which leaves residual greenwashing and double-claim risk.

Documentation

The record draws on multiple official documents, including the PDD and monitoring report, and includes a named verifier. Documentation quality is weakened by low extraction confidence, one poorly readable document, and missing core fields such as verified emission totals and usage monitoring details.

Overall

I privileged the monitoring report where it was more recent and specific, especially for the 2023 monitoring period and the statement that no biogas explosion or leakage occurred. I also privileged the VVB-confirmed additionality over the conflicting investment-test reference, but the contradictions on additionality test type, leakage treatment, and crediting period reduce reliability and pull scores down. Because documentation quality is only moderate and leakage remains unaddressed, the project does not score as high-confidence despite some positive safeguards and verification.
