Gansu Tianrun Liuyuan 1st Stage 49.5MW Wind Park Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in Gansu, China, registered under CDM with a jurisdictional grid baseline and an established VVB (CTC). The project shows no material findings or corrective actions, but the extracted record contains significant gaps in additionality documentation, verified emissions reductions, and safeguards, compounded by contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports on ERR figures and crediting period dates.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR figures differ by a factor of ~7 between the validation report (89,813 tCO2e) and the monitoring report (628,691 tCO2e); the basis for each figure is not clarified in the extracted record
• ⚠Crediting period start date differs between documents: January 2018 (validation report) vs October 2018 (monitoring report), creating ambiguity about the actual project start
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted data, leaving the additionality claim unverified in the available record
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the monitoring report says 'quantified' while the validation report says 'deemed negligible', yet both documents report a 0% deduction
