Datang Qixia Zangjiazhuang Garden Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and appropriate leakage treatment for grid-displacement. The main concerns are the absence of an explicitly stated additionality test type in the extracted record, a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, and limited documentation (no monitoring reports visible). The project is inherently low-risk as a wind avoidance project with no reversal exposure.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠PDD (Nov 2019) reports total ERR of 536,683 tCO2e while the validation report (Dec 2019) reports 76,669 tCO2e — a ~7× discrepancy that, while resolved in favour of the validation report, raises questions about the PDD's internal consistency
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality assessment opaque
• ⚠No monitoring period or monitoring report data found in the available documents, limiting verification of actual performance
