CGN Mishan Linhe Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China validated by CTI with a standard jurisdictional baseline and reasonable 0% leakage assumption, but the extracted record contains a significant 7× discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on expected emissions reductions, and key additionality details are absent from the available documents. The project is inherently low-risk (avoidance-type wind generation), yet the documentation and transparency gaps limit confidence in the full compliance picture.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠7× discrepancy in expected emissions reductions: the PDD (2020-06-10) states 675,395 tCO₂e while the validation report (2020-06-15) states 96,485 tCO₂e; the validated figure was privileged as the authoritative VVB determination
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not documented in the extracted record, leaving a critical CDM requirement unverified in the available evidence
• ⚠No monitoring reports found despite the crediting period running from October 2019, and the minimum extraction confidence across documents is rated low
• ⚠One of the four source documents is listed as 'unknown', reducing traceability of the evidence base
