Audit Analysis
A 39 MW grid-connected wind project in Gujarat validated under CDM with a combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV NORD CERT. The project's integrity is supported by standard wind-avoidance logic and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction, but the absence of any monitoring reports, verified emission reductions, or post-validation data severely limits the ability to confirm actual performance. Multiple contradictions between the PDD and validation report, combined with low extraction confidence, reduce confidence in the extracted record.
Red Flags
- No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm the 715,660 tCO2e lifetime claim
- Baseline method is contradictory: the validation report (2012) labels it 'project' while the PDD (2012) labels it 'jurisdictional' — a material discrepancy for a grid-connected wind project
- 20 material findings were logged during validation, indicating the initial project documentation required substantial correction before VVB approval
