Wulihou CMM Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

The Wulihou CMM Power Generation Project is a registered VCS methane-to-power project with VVB-confirmed additionality and documented safeguards, but the validation report identifies eight material findings—including an installed-capacity inconsistency, insufficient baseline detail, and a VVB comment questioning the project's fundamental eligibility—along with nine corrective actions. The 0% leakage deduction is justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantification, and a contradiction exists on whether methane capture is legally mandated, undermining the additionality narrative. No monitoring data is yet available, and the project remains at the validation stage.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eight material findings in the validation report, including an installed-capacity inconsistency and a VVB comment questioning whether this project type should be eligible in the carbon market
• ⚠Contradiction between the PDD (capture legally required: yes) and the validation report (capture legally required: no), directly affecting the additionality case
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis for a coal-mine-methane project where displaced methane or alternative use pathways are plausible
• ⚠Nine corrective actions required by the VVB, spanning investment-analysis assumptions, baseline methane-concentration limits, and stakeholder-identification gaps
