Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China with a 7-year crediting period, verified by a named VVB, but the extracted record contains a material finding on grid emission factor inconsistency, a contradiction in baseline classification between the validation report and monitoring report, and no documented additionality test details. The project is inherently low-risk as an avoidance-type renewable energy project, but data quality issues and evidence gaps prevent a higher confidence rating.

Red Flags

  • Material finding: the grid emission factor (EFgrid,BM,y) in the PDD and ER calculation spreadsheet differed from the value provided by China's Designated National Authority, requiring corrective recalculation of emission reductions
  • Baseline method is classified as 'project' in the 2020 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2015 validation report — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
  • Additionality test type and VVB verification status are not found in the extracted record, leaving a gap in the additionality evidence chain
  • Leakage justification is inconsistent: the PDD (2015) states leakage was deemed negligible, while the 2020 monitoring report records it as not addressed
