Audit Analysis

A run-of-river hydro project in Brazil validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 v19 with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a 7-year crediting period. The project type carries inherently low reversal and leakage risk, and no material compliance issues were flagged by the VVB. However, the extracted record lacks explicit additionality documentation, monitoring-period data, and safeguards detail, limiting confidence in the full compliance picture.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving a core CDM requirement unverified in the available data
  • Two contradictions exist between the validation report and an appendix regarding leakage treatment and baseline classification
