Audit Analysis
The Suzhou Qizi Mountain Landfill Gas Recovery Project has a confirmed additionality assessment and a named VVB, but is undermined by three corrective action requests (meter calibration error, non-ideal ER calculation method, and inconsistent emission values), a 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justification, and no buffer pool or reversal-risk treatment. CCP approval introduces dual-channel risk, and several key MRV parameters (FNRB method, usage monitoring, CORSIA eligibility) are absent from the extracted record.
Red Flags
- Three Corrective Action Requests raised by the VVB: meter FD21246A calibration mismatch, ER calculation not based on directly monitored LFG parameters, and emission reduction values inconsistent with the calculation spreadsheet
- Leakage deduction of 0% with justification described as 'not addressed' in the verification report, contradicting the validation report's 'deemed negligible' claim
- Reversal events explicitly 'not addressed' and no buffer pool percentage stated, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a landfill gas project
- CCP status is 'approved', creating dual-channel risk with China's domestic carbon market while CORSIA eligibility is not stated
- FPIC recorded as not conducted in the validation report (2021), contradicting a 2017 appendix that records it as conducted
