Audit Analysis

A 2.5 MW CDM wind project validated in 2011 by Lloyd's Register with a confirmed investment-test additionality and a jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the available record is limited to the validation report and PDD, with no monitoring reports, no verified emission reductions, and a 10-fold discrepancy in the claimed emission reductions between the PDD and the validation report. The project's data trail is thin and the ERR contradiction raises material concerns about the reliability of the credit quantity.

Red Flags

  • 10-fold discrepancy in total emission reductions: the PDD (Feb 2011) states 37,740 tCO2e while the validation report (Apr 2011) states 3,774 tCO2e — a factor-of-ten difference that is not explained in either document
  • Nine corrective action requests (CARs) were raised at validation, including missing LoA from the Designated National Authority, non-transparent investment analysis, and missing evidence for the project start date — all resolved before issuance but indicating a weak initial submission
  • No monitoring reports, verified emission reductions, or post-validation data are available in the extracted record for a project whose crediting period ended in April 2021
  • Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted facts
