Beijing Caoqiao Natural Gas CCGT Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project (natural gas CCGT replacing coal-fired generation) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable zero-leakage claim, but significant gaps in monitoring data, no verified ERR figures, and a project-specific baseline limit confidence. The low extraction confidence and absence of any monitoring reports make it difficult to confirm actual delivery against the 375,190 tCO2e lifetime claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures found in the extracted record — actual delivery against the 375,190 tCO2e claim cannot be confirmed
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, with one document of unknown type, reducing reliability of the evidence base
• ⚠Project-specific baseline with no reassessment date recorded; the 2013 grid emission factor (0.6286) has not been updated for the full crediting period
• ⚠Material findings in the validation report included a wrongly computed IRR and inconsistent NCV/EF values in the PDD, indicating initial quality-control weaknesses (corrected via CARs)
