Audit Analysis
Carabina I is a conventional wind energy project in Mexico using the standard ACM0002 methodology, with additionality confirmed by DNV via a combined test and a jurisdictional grid baseline. The design is sound for a wind project, but the available record contains only the 2012 validation report with no monitoring or verification data, leaving the 499,697 tCO2e lifetime claim unverified against actuals. All eight material findings were procedural and corrected, but the absence of any post-validation evidence limits confidence in delivery.
Red Flags
- No monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record; the 499,697 tCO2e lifetime claim cannot be cross-checked against verified annual reductions.
- Grid emission factor of 0.588 tCO2/MWh is dated to 2010 and no baseline reassessment date is recorded, so it is unclear whether the factor was updated for the full 2015–2021 crediting period.
- No buffer pool percentage is stated; while wind is an avoidance project with lower reversal risk, the absence of any permanence safeguard is noted.
