Audit Analysis
The Guangdong Mafang Hydropower Project is a small-scale CDM hydro project (ACM0002 v16.0) validated by CEC in 2015, using a jurisdictional baseline with the 2014 Chinese grid emission factor. The project is methodologically sound for its type, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality documentation, monitoring-period data, and CORSIA/CCP eligibility information, and contains two minor inter-document contradictions that were resolved in favour of the validation report.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not explicitly captured in the extracted record, creating an evidence gap for a mandatory CDM requirement
- Total ERR claimed and verified are identical (220,367 tCO₂) with no monitoring period or monitoring report in the evidence set, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery versus ex-ante estimate
- Two inter-document contradictions (leakage treatment and baseline method) indicate internal inconsistency in the project documentation, though both were resolved in favour of the validation report
