Audit Analysis
A small CDM-era hydropower retrofit project in China with a verified investment-test additionality assessment and a reasonable zero-leakage justification, but severely limited post-validation data: no monitoring period, no verified emissions reductions, and a three-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation-report ERR figures. The project's 2012–2015 crediting window has long closed, and the low extraction confidence across 20 documents further constrains confidence in the available record.
Red Flags
- The PDD (Aug 2012) claimed 98,113 tCO₂e while the validation report (Aug 2012) recorded only 30,983 tCO₂e — a 68 % reduction that indicates the initial project documentation substantially overestimated credit potential before VVB correction.
- No monitoring period, verified ERR, or FNRB data were found in any available document, leaving the actual delivery of credits entirely unverifiable from the extracted record.
- Low extraction confidence across the 20-document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of all extracted figures.
