Audit Analysis

A CDM hydropower project in China with a jurisdictional baseline and investment-test additionality, but the available record is limited to the validation report and PDD with no monitoring data, no buffer pool information, and low extraction confidence. Four material findings (CARs) were raised during validation, and two contradictions between documents reduce confidence in the data. The project is moderate in quality but lacks the depth of evidence needed for a high-confidence assessment.

Red Flags

  • No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is stated in any available document, leaving reversal risk unaddressed for a 7-year crediting period
  • No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures are available; the 554,218 tCO2e figure is an ex-ante claim with no verified counterpart
  • Low extraction confidence across the document set, with one source document listed as 'unknown'
  • Four material findings (CARs) were raised during validation, including a missing parameter in the PDD and outdated grid emission factor
