Analysis

A VCS-registered biogas/composting project in Henan, China, with VVB-confirmed additionality and quantified leakage, but undermined by a large volume of material findings (8 findings, 8 CARs, 6 CLs) during verification, absence of FPIC, no stated buffer pool, and a significant gap between the PDD's lifetime estimate and the verified monitoring-period results. The project delivered roughly 53% of the PDD's pro-rata expectation for the elapsed period, raising over-crediting concerns in the original design.
