Analysis

The Wonju Landfill Gas Recovery Project is a CDM methane-to-electricity project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a legally mandated capture requirement, but it carries a heavy load of material findings and corrective actions—including an incorrectly applied leakage methodology and an unindicated baseline scenario—that undermine confidence in the underlying estimates. The project delivered roughly 90% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored half-year, a modestly conservative result, yet the absence of a verified ERR figure and several null data fields limit transparency.
