Swine Farm Animal Manure Management System GHG Mitigation Project in Hubei Province

Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard biogas-to-electricity project on a swine farm in Hubei, China, with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversal events, but significant gaps in verified emissions data, absence of a buffer pool, and a project-specific modeled baseline that limit confidence in the credit's integrity and claim safety. The project is CORSIA-eligible with unknown CCP status, creating dual-channel risk, and multiple monitoring parameters (fnrb, usage rates, end-use tracking) are not stated in the available record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠CORSIA-eligible with CCP status not stated, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not found in the extracted record; the monitoring report figure of 294,669 tCO2e cannot be independently confirmed against the lifetime ex-ante estimate of 1,413,670 tCO2e
• ⚠Grid emission factor of 0.57205 tCO2/MWh is stated without a reference year, risking over-crediting if the Chinese grid has decarbonised since the baseline was set
• ⚠18 Corrective Action Requests were raised during verification (all closed), indicating material issues in the project documentation that required remediation
