Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China with a single monitoring period showing verified emissions reductions (102,577 tCO₂e) that align closely with the pro-rata PDD expectation. Key gaps include the absence of a stated additionality test type in the extracted record, contradictory leakage justifications between the validation and monitoring reports, and a baseline method discrepancy (project-specific vs. jurisdictional). No reversal events or corrective actions were reported, and the project is an avoidance-type with inherent permanence.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any extracted document, leaving a core CDM requirement unverified in the available record
  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report (2020) deems leakage negligible while the monitoring report (2022) records it as not addressed, with a 0% deduction applied
  • Baseline method is characterised as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report, creating ambiguity about the baseline construction
