Audit Analysis

A small-scale CDM hydro project in China with a jurisdictional grid baseline, VVB-confirmed additionality, and a full-period monitoring report showing verified emissions reductions matching the claimed figure exactly. The main concerns are a minor contradiction in how leakage is justified across documents and the absence of detailed safeguards documentation (FPIC, grievance mechanism). Overall a straightforward, low-risk generation project with moderate documentation depth.

Red Flags

  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the monitoring report (Aug 2019) states leakage was 'quantified' while the validation report (Aug 2019) describes it as 'deemed negligible' — both arrive at 0% deduction but the methodological basis is inconsistent
  • Safeguards are mentioned in the project documents but neither FPIC nor a grievance mechanism is documented in the extracted record
  • Additionality test type is not specified in the available documents despite VVB confirmation
