Audit Analysis
A 12.6 MW CDM hydropower project in Hubei, China, validated in 2015 under AMS-I.D with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is structurally sound for its type (avoidance-based, no reversal risk), but the extracted record lacks a monitoring report, explicit additionality test documentation, and shows a significant seven-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and the validation report, undermining confidence in the final credit volume.
Red Flags
- Seven-fold discrepancy in total claimed emissions reductions: the PDD (Oct 2015) states 193,032 tCO₂e while the validation report (Nov 2015) states 27,576 tCO₂e; even accounting for the differing crediting periods (14 yr vs 7 yr), a ~3.5× unexplained gap remains
- No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record, so actual performance against the validated estimate cannot be assessed
- Additionality test type and explicit VVB confirmation of additionality are not documented in the available records
