Beijing 48 MW Guanting Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 48 MW onshore wind project in Beijing validated under CDM with a jurisdictional baseline and reasonable leakage treatment, but the extracted record contains a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emission reductions, six material findings including a calculation error, and no additionality test details. The low extraction confidence and absence of monitoring reports limit confidence in the overall data picture.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven-fold discrepancy in total emission reductions: the PDD (July 2015) states 608,839 tCO₂e while the validation report (August 2015) states 86,977 tCO₂e — a factor of ~7 difference that undermines confidence in the credit quantity
• ⚠Material finding CAR-4 explicitly identifies a 'total emission reductions calculation error' in the validation report, yet no corrective actions are recorded as required
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are entirely absent from the extracted record, leaving the additionality claim unverified in available documents
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which compounds the ERR discrepancy concern
