China Resources Penglai Daxindian Wind Power Project Phase I

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. The project is fundamentally sound in design, but a significant discrepancy between the ex-ante estimate in the validation report (88,861 tCO₂e over the full crediting period) and the monitoring-period figure (147,634 tCO₂e over ~18 months) raises over-crediting concerns. Several operational and MRV fields remain unreported in the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The monitoring report (2013) reports 147,634 tCO₂e for an ~18-month period, while the validation report (2012) states an ex-ante estimate of only 88,861 tCO₂e for the full 7-year crediting period — the monitoring figure is roughly 7.7× the pro-rata expectation, indicating either a very conservative initial estimate or a data inconsistency.
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not stated in the extracted record; only the claimed figure from the monitoring report is available, preventing independent cross-check.
• ⚠Buffer pool percentage and reversal-event history are not stated in any available document, leaving permanence safeguards unconfirmed.
