Audit Analysis

The China Jintan Hydropower Project is a small-scale CDM hydro avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, presenting moderate integrity. However, several key verification fields (verified ERR, FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) are absent from the extracted record, and the grid emission factor dates to 2006, limiting confidence in the precision of claimed reductions.

Red Flags

  • Grid emission factor of 0.95116 tCO2/MWh is from 2006 and no updated value or reassessment date is found in the available documents
  • Total ERR verified figure is not stated in the extracted record, preventing independent cross-check of the 41,790 tCO2e claimed in the 2012 monitoring report
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
