Datang Yumen Changma First (north) 48MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 48 MW onshore wind project in China validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 v19.0, with a jurisdictional grid baseline and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction appropriate for wind. The project lacks explicit additionality test documentation, confirmed safeguards, and any monitoring-period data, creating meaningful evidence gaps. The ERR figures in the PDD and validation report are consistent on a per-year basis (565,845 tCO₂e over 7 years ≈ 80,835 tCO₂e/year), but the absence of monitoring reports and FNRB data limits confidence in delivery tracking.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any available document; only the validation by CTI is recorded, leaving the specific investment or barrier test unverified in the extracted record.
• ⚠Safeguards are mentioned in the PDD but explicitly absent from the validation report; no FPIC, grievance mechanism, or benefit-sharing detail beyond a general statement is documented.
• ⚠No monitoring reports, FNRB values, or usage-monitoring methodology are available, so actual delivery against the 80,835 tCO₂e annual expectation cannot be independently verified.
• ⚠Grid emission factor is from 2017 (0.7674 tCO₂/MWh); no evidence of periodic grid-EF updates is found in the extracted record.
