Audit Analysis
The Goldwind Damao Wind Farm is a standard CDM wind project with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline, and no reversal or leakage concerns. The project over-delivered relative to its pro-rata expectation for the monitored period, and all material findings from validation were resolved without corrective actions. The main residual concern is the reliance on a 2005 grid emission factor, which may overstate abatement if the Chinese grid has since decarbonised.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor of 1.058 tCO₂/MWh is drawn from 2005 data; if the Chinese grid has become cleaner since, the baseline may overstate actual abatement.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
- Crediting period start date differs between the 2008 validation report (1 Nov 2008) and the 2016 monitoring report (13 Aug 2009), creating ambiguity about the exact crediting window.
