Soc Son Waste to Power Plant Project

Audit Analysis

The Soc Son Waste-to-Power project is a VCS-registered avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no permanence risk, but it suffers from a thin leakage justification (0% deemed negligible), a project-specific baseline with a 2019 grid emission factor, and a complete absence of verified monitoring data. Low extraction confidence and the lack of any monitoring report in the evidence base limit confidence in the project's ongoing performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantified analysis, which is weak for a waste-to-energy project where displaced waste or displaced electricity could create leakage pathways
• ⚠No verified ERR data available (no monitoring report in evidence), making it impossible to assess whether the project is delivering on its claimed 3.81 MtCO2e over the crediting period
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
• ⚠Four material findings (CARs) at validation related to stakeholder consultation, EIA justification, public comment period, and methodology applicability — all resolved but indicating initial documentation gaps
