Audit Analysis

A 16 MW coal-mine-methane power generation project in China under VCS methodology ACM0008, with additionality confirmed by the VVB via a combined test. However, four material findings at validation (including a non-compliant common-practice justification and stakeholder consultation gaps) required corrective action, no buffer pool is in place, and two cross-document contradictions (a 10× discrepancy in the claimed ERR and inconsistent leakage-justification language) reduce confidence in the data record.

Red Flags

  • Four material findings at validation required corrective action, including a common-practice justification that did not meet the Combined Tool requirements and stakeholder consultation inconsistent with VCS Standard v4.7 §3.18
  • 10× discrepancy in the claimed ERR between the validation report (4,837,071 tCO₂e) and the financial document (483,707 tCO₂e)
  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the monitoring report states it was 'quantified' while the validation report characterises it as 'deemed negligible', yet both apply a 0% deduction
