Audit Analysis
A registered VCS wind power project (ACM0002 v06) with VVB-confirmed additionality and matching claimed/verified ERR figures of 273,926 tCO₂. However, the most recent verification report (2022) records the leakage justification as 'not addressed' (versus 'deemed negligible' in the 2009 report), the baseline method is inconsistently described across reports, and the specific additionality test type is not stated in the extracted record. All six material findings from the verification process were resolved, and the project presents low inherent reversal risk as an avoidance-type wind installation.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the 2022 verification report, despite the 2009 report having stated it was 'deemed negligible' — the justification was not carried forward
- Baseline method described as 'project' in the 2022 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2009 verification report — an unexplained inconsistency across the project's own verification records
- Additionality is confirmed by the VVB but the specific test type (investment, regulatory, or barrier) is not stated in any available document
- Free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and a grievance mechanism are not documented in the extracted record, despite safeguards being mentioned
