Audit Analysis

The Fengguang 24.9 MW hydropower project is a standard CDM small-scale hydro installation under ACM0002 with a 7-year crediting period. ERR claimed and verified figures match exactly at 454,251 tCO₂e, and no reversal events were reported. However, the additionality test type is not explicitly stated in the extracted record, four administrative material findings (versioning mismatches) were flagged with corrective actions required, and two contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports (leakage justification and baseline method) reduce confidence in data consistency.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any extracted document, leaving a critical CDM requirement unverified in the available record
  • Four material findings in the monitoring report flag versioning mismatches (PDD form, methodology, emission-factor tool, grid EF year) requiring corrective actions
  • Contradiction between validation report (leakage 'deemed negligible') and monitoring report (leakage 'quantified') creates ambiguity in the leakage treatment
