Yingkou Dashiqiao LFG Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

The Yingkou Dashiqiao LFG Power Generation Project is a VCS-registered landfill gas-to-power project with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and reasonable safeguards (FPIC, grievance mechanism). However, the absence of a stated buffer pool, a project-specific modeled baseline with no documented reassessment date, three unresolved contradictions between the PDD and validation report, and a low extraction confidence level limit confidence in the credit's robustness. The 0% leakage deduction is defensible for an LFG capture-and-burn project, but the overall documentation quality and data gaps warrant caution.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Three contradictions between the PDD and validation report on benefit sharing, leakage justification, and whether gas capture is legally required — the validation report (Oct 2025) was privileged over the PDD (Mar/May 2025) as the more recent, VVB-issued document
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which undermines confidence in the extracted data
• ⚠Four material findings (one clarification request and three corrective action requests) were raised during validation, including one on project eligibility assessment, though all appear resolved
