Audit Analysis

A small-scale hydro project under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a grid-emission-factor baseline and a 14-year crediting period. The project shows no reversal events and uses a standard methodology, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality documentation, contains contradictory leakage justifications, and shows a baseline-method discrepancy between the validation and monitoring reports. Overall a moderate-quality project with manageable but unresolved documentation gaps.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any extracted document, despite being a mandatory CDM requirement
  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the 2017 validation report deems leakage negligible while the 2022 monitoring report does not address it at all
  • Baseline method is reported as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline construction
