Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard biogas-to-electricity project in Sichuan with VVB-verified additionality and no reversal events, but undermined by a contradiction on whether biogas capture is legally required, a project-specific modeled baseline, and 14 corrective action requests indicating data-quality weaknesses. The project delivered roughly 82% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2024 monitoring period, which is reasonable but leaves several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage rates, buffer pool) unquantified in the available record.
Red Flags
- Contradiction on legal requirement for biogas capture: the verification report (2023) states capture is legally required, while the PDD (2020) states it is not — if legally mandated, the additionality claim is materially weakened
- 14 Corrective Action Requests and 5 Clarification Requests raised by the VVB, including incorrect ex-ante temperature values and inaccurate process-flow diagrams, indicating systematic data-quality issues
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the justification but the actual deduction percentage is not stated in any extracted document
