CTI was contracted by Chenzhou Xiangshui Tiantangshan Wind Power Co., Ltd. for verification of the project activity.The verification was performed based on rules and requirements defined by GCC program for the project activity;

The project uses LFG generated from the Rongchang Landfill to generate electricity. The project will reduce GHG emissions by replacing electricity generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants of Central China Power Grid (CCPG). After review, the verification team confirmed that the project has not been registered in other GHG and Non GHG Program mechanisms except for the application to become GCC. The start date of the project is 09/05/2016, which belongs to the project category A2;

This project has correctly applied the methodologies of AMS-III.G: Landfill Methane Recovery (Version 10.0) and AMS-I.D: Grid-Connected Renewable Electricity Generation(Version 18.0);

The objectives of this project verification is to verify that the GCC project meets the requirements of GCC project framework v2.1, GCC program manual v3.1, GCC program processes v4.0, GCC project standard v3.1, GCC project sustainability standard v3.1, GCC verification standard v3.1, GCC Environment & Social safeguards standard v3.0, ISO 14064-2 & ISO 14064-3, applicable approved AMS-III.G. Landfill methane recovery - Version 10.0, Applicable Legal requirements/rules of host country, National Sustainable Development Criteria and CORSIA requirements and other GCC requirements related to aspects such as project design, applicable conditions, project boundary, baseline scenarios, additionality, emission reduction, monitoring plan, local stakeholder consultation, global stakeholder consultation, GHG emission reductions (ACCs), environmental no-net harm label (E+), social no net harm label (S+), gold SDG label (SDG+), CORSIA+. This report summarizes the final project verification opinion which is based on Project Submission Form v4.0;

The project is operational since 09/05/2016. The estimated annual net electricity generation and average annual emission reductions of the proposed project are 44,748 tCO₂e, respectively. The total GHG emissions reductions in the chosen fixed 10 years crediting period amount to 447,489 tCO₂e;

The project is not likely to cause any net-harm to the environment and/or society and complies with the Environmental and Social Safeguards Standard, and therefore requests the GCC Program to register the Project Activity, which is likely to achieve the requirements of the Environmental No net-harm Label (E+ ) and the Social No-net-harm Label (S+ );

The project is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard, and contribute to achieving a total of 4 SDGs, which is likely to achieve the gold SDG certification label (SDG+).

The Project Activity complies with all the applicable requirement of the GCC Program and ICAO’s requirements on CORSIA Emissions Unit Eligibility Criteria and CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units, and the ACCs expected to be issued during the crediting period is likely to be CORSIA eligible and can be used by International Airlines for offsetting their emissions during all phases of CORSIA and therefore requests GCC Steering Committee to append CORSIA Certification label (C+) to this project. The written attestation from the Host country on double counting shall be submitted by the project owner at ACCs issuance stage (A FAR remains open regarding the same)
