Audit Analysis
The China Shangbao Small Hydropower Project is a CDM-registered hydro avoidance project validated by Applus+ Certification, using a jurisdictional baseline (reassessed 2022) and the AMS-I.D methodology. The project presents a low permanence risk profile typical of hydro, with no reversal events and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction. However, the extracted record lacks specific additionality test details, FNRB values, and any monitoring-period data, limiting the depth of assurance available.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in the extracted record, creating an evidence gap on a core CDM requirement
- No monitoring reports or verification reports are present in the evidence set; only the validation report (2022) and PDD are available, so post-registration performance cannot be assessed
- FNRB value and usage monitoring method are not stated, leaving the emission-factor and consumption assumptions unverified against actuals
