Zhijiang Shibaoshan LFG Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A registered VCS landfill gas power generation project in China using AMS-III.G methodology, with a combined additionality test and project-specific modeled baseline. The project delivered approximately 92% of its claimed ERR for the 2022–2024 monitoring period, but the verification report identified multiple material findings including data inconsistencies and a failure by the VVB to confirm exclusive use of project-recovered landfill gas. Several contradictions between the PDD, monitoring reports, and verification reports reduce confidence in the overall data reliability.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The VVB did not confirm that only landfill gas recovered in the project is used for power generation, as required by AMS-III.G v10 paragraph 22 (Finding 1 in the verification report)
• ⚠Sales and purchase records data were found to be inconsistent with supporting records for the period July–December 2022 (CAR-1)
• ⚠Some exported electricity records were not authorized by CCPG, requiring submission of corrected ETNs with official company chop (CL-1)
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, with at least one key document poorly readable and one document of unknown type
• ⚠Additionality verification by the VVB is not explicitly confirmed in the extracted record despite a combined test being applied
