Gansu Guazhou Daliangxi Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in Gansu, China, validated by CTI under the well-established ACM0002 methodology with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project type is inherently low-risk for permanence and leakage, but the available record contains only validation-stage documents with no monitoring or verification reports, and the extraction confidence is low, leaving significant gaps in post-implementation evidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification or monitoring reports are present in the extracted record; only a validation report (Jan 2019) and PDD are available, so actual emissions reductions over the 2017–2024 crediting period are unconfirmed.
• ⚠The PDD (Jan 2019) states a total ERR of 618,527 tCO₂ while the validation report (Jan 2019) states 88,361 tCO₂; although this is consistent with a 7-year total versus an annual figure, the discrepancy was not explicitly reconciled in the documents.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one of the four evidence documents is listed as 'unknown', reducing reliability of the extracted data.
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not specified in the extracted record, leaving the additionality assessment unverified in the available data.
