Audit Analysis
A small hydropower project in China registered under CDM with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a named VVB (CTI). The extracted record lacks explicit confirmation of the additionality test type, a verified ERR figure, and FNRB/usage-rate data, and contains a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on the ex-ante emission reduction estimate. The project type (physical hydro infrastructure) inherently carries low permanence and leakage risk, but documentation gaps and the ERR contradiction limit confidence.
Red Flags
- The PDD reports a lifetime ex-ante estimate of 832,698 tCO2e while the validation report (same date, 2015-12-23) states 118,957 tCO2e — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that is unexplained in the available documents.
- The additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not captured in the extracted record, leaving a core CDM requirement unverified in the available evidence.
- No verified ERR figure is available for the 2016–2023 monitoring period, preventing any pro-rata delivery check against the ex-ante estimate.
