WUHE BIOGAS RECOVERY AND UTILIZATION PROJECT

Audit Analysis

The Wuhe Biogas project has VVB-confirmed additionality via an investment test and a registered status under VCS, but is undermined by six material findings—including a 25% discrepancy in animal head counts that directly affects the baseline—and the absence of FPIC. The project-specific, modeled baseline and lack of buffer pool data introduce moderate permanence and baseline risk. Conservative revisions to the grid emission factor and ERR between PDD versions are positive, but the overall documentation quality is weakened by low extraction confidence and multiple corrective actions.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠25% discrepancy in animal head counts (36,000 in FSR vs 45,000 actual) directly undermines baseline reliability
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite the project's community-facing nature in China
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage or reversal event data found in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
• ⚠Six material findings and six corrective actions required in the verification report indicate significant documentation and data-quality gaps
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set reduces reliability of the extracted record
