Audit Analysis
A small CDM hydropower project in Fujian, China, using the standardised AMS-I.D methodology with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. Additionality was confirmed by the VVB via an investment test, and the verified emission reductions (12,936 tCO₂) are modestly above the claimed figure (12,189 tCO₂) for the same monitoring period, indicating no over-crediting. Several documentation gaps and a baseline-method contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports temper the overall assessment.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is described as 'jurisdictional' in the 2012 monitoring report but as 'project' in the 2009 validation report — an unresolved inconsistency that could affect the validity of the baseline calculation.
- Grid emission factor is from 2006 (0.8888 tCO₂/MWh); no evidence of a more recent or updated factor was found in the extracted documents.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving the double-claiming risk unassessed.
