Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project in China using the standard ACM0002 methodology, with a named VVB (CTC) and a specified grid emission factor. The project is an avoidance-type (no reversal risk), but the record shows a clarification request on the additionality test, an unaddressed leakage assessment, and a contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports on the baseline method. The verified emissions for the 2015–2019 monitoring period track closely (~99%) to the pro-rata expectation from the ex-ante estimate, which is reassuring for claim safety.

Red Flags

  • Leakage is explicitly marked as 'not addressed' in the monitoring report, with no deduction percentage or justification provided
  • Baseline method is contradictory: the validation report (2015) describes a jurisdictional baseline while the monitoring report (2021) describes a project-specific baseline
  • A Corrective Action Request (CAR 01) was raised because the PDD incorrectly stated the baseline did not need updating, indicating a documentation error that had to be corrected
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
