Datang Duolun Daxishan phase III Wind Farm project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project with a jurisdictional baseline and appropriate leakage treatment, but significant data gaps in additionality documentation and a major discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total claimed emissions reductions (687,855 vs 98,265 tCO₂e). No monitoring or verification data is available to confirm actual delivery, and the low extraction confidence further limits confidence in the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total ERR claimed differs by a factor of ~7 between the PDD (687,855 tCO₂e) and the validation report (98,265 tCO₂e), raising serious questions about the accuracy of the project's credit volume
• ⚠Grid emission factor contradicts between documents (0.84045 in the validation report vs 0.968 in an unidentified source), with the lower value from an undated, unnamed document
• ⚠No monitoring or verification report is available in the extracted record, so actual credit delivery cannot be assessed
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not captured in the available documents, leaving a gap in the additionality evidence chain
