Audit Analysis
A registered VCS wind power project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no material findings, but undermined by significant contradictions in verified emission reduction figures (192,359 vs 355,540 tCO₂), a disputed baseline classification (project-specific vs jurisdictional), and an unaddressed 0% leakage deduction. The project is inherently lower-risk as an avoidance-type renewable energy project, yet the data reliability issues and outdated 2006 grid emission factor limit confidence in the credit quantity.
Red Flags
- Verified ERR of 192,359 tCO₂ (Nov 2022 verification report) contradicts a figure of 355,540 tCO₂ in a September 2022 verification report and the monitoring report — a 46% discrepancy that cannot be reconciled from available documents
- Baseline method is classified as 'project-specific' in the November 2022 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the November 2022 monitoring report, creating uncertainty about the baseline's robustness
- Leakage deduction is 0% with the justification described as 'not addressed' in the latest verification report, while an earlier September 2022 report described it as 'quantified' — the basis for the zero deduction is unclear
- Grid emission factor of 0.966 tCO₂/MWh is from 2006 and no baseline reassessment date is stated in any available document
