Audit Analysis

A small-scale hydro project under CDM methodology AMS-I.D. with a jurisdictional baseline and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction, but the extracted record contains no monitoring or verification data, no documented additionality test type, and low document extraction confidence. The project's core design is sound for a grid-displacement hydro scheme, yet the absence of verified performance data and safeguards detail limits confidence in the credit claim.

Red Flags

  • No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures are present in the extracted record; the 124,236 tCO2e lifetime claim is entirely unverified against actual performance.
  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not documented in the available facts, leaving the additionality assessment opaque despite the project having been validated.
  • Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key source document was poorly readable, which undermines reliability of all extracted values.
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving the double-claiming risk unassessed.
