Audit Analysis
A CDM wind power project in Guangdong, China, validated by CCSC in January 2019 with a jurisdictional grid baseline. The project faces a significant data-reliability concern due to a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, and a corrective action was raised to update the grid emission factor. The extracted record is thin, with low confidence and no monitoring reports available.
Red Flags
- Seven-fold discrepancy in total ERR: the PDD (Jan 2019) states 324,583 tCO2e while the validation report (Jan 2019) states 46,369 tCO2e — a 7× gap that undermines confidence in the project's quantification
- Corrective action CAR-1 was raised in the validation report to update the baseline grid emission factor to the 2017 version published by China's DNA, indicating the initial PDD used an outdated factor
- No monitoring or verification reports were found in the extracted record; only the initial validation report and PDD are available
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one evidence document is listed as 'unknown'
