Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project in China validated by CTI in 2019, using a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline under ACM0002 v19.0. The project is structurally sound for a wind avoidance-type credit, but the extracted record contains two significant numerical contradictions (grid emission factor and total expected ER) and lacks any monitoring-period data, verified ER figures, or explicit additionality-test documentation, limiting confidence in the credit's integrity and transparency.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total expected ER differs by a factor of ~7 between the PDD (411,642 tCO2e) and the validation report (58,806 tCO2e), both dated within one day of each other in November 2019 — a major data-reliability concern
• ⚠Grid emission factor is 0.84045 tCO2/MWh in the validation report but 0.968 in an unidentified document, with no explanation for the discrepancy
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ER figures, or monitoring-period data were found in the available documents, leaving the project's actual performance unassessed
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not explicitly stated in the extracted record, creating an evidence gap on a core CDM requirement
