Audit Analysis
El Arrayán is a CDM wind farm project in Chile validated by KBS Certification Services with a combined additionality test and a grid-emission-factor baseline (0.6191 tCO2/MWh, 2020). The project type carries inherently low permanence and leakage risk, and all seven validation corrective actions were resolved. However, the absence of any monitoring-period data, verified emission reductions, or FNRB information limits the ability to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 1,345,533 tCO2e over the 2021–2028 crediting period.
Red Flags
- No monitoring report or verified emission-reduction figure is available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 1,345,533 tCO2e.
- Baseline method is classified as 'project' in the validation report but 'jurisdictional' in the PDD — an inconsistency that, while minor for a grid-displacement wind project, signals imprecise documentation.
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable and some facts may be missing from the record.
