Audit Analysis
A 26 MW onshore wind project in Guangdong, China, registered under VCS ACM0002, with a 10-year crediting period (2008–2017) and 275,489 tCO₂e of verified emissions reductions. The project is inherently low-risk as an avoidance-type renewable energy credit, but documentation gaps in leakage justification, safeguards, and four outstanding corrective actions moderate the overall quality. No evidence of over-crediting or double-claiming was found.
Red Flags
- Four corrective actions remain open, including missing meter calibration records and incomplete QA/QC documentation in the monitoring report
- Leakage justification is inconsistent: the 2009 verification report states 'deemed negligible' while the 2023 verification report records it as 'not addressed'
- FPIC was not conducted and the grievance mechanism status is contradictory across documents (absent in 2009 verification report, present in 2023 monitoring report)
- Grid emission factor is from 2005, which is the oldest year in the crediting period and may overstate reductions in later years
