Audit Analysis
The Guangxi Qiaogong Hydropower Project is a CDM-registered small hydro scheme using a jurisdictional baseline and ACM0002 methodology, with a reasonable 0% leakage deduction for grid-displacement. However, key verification details (additionality test type, verified ERR, FNRB, usage monitoring) are absent from the extracted record, and a minor material finding regarding PDD parameter documentation was noted without corrective action. The project is functional but lacks the depth of evidence needed for high confidence.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any available document, leaving the additionality claim unverified in the extracted record
- No verified ERR figure is available to cross-check against the 5,659,906 tCO2e lifetime claim, preventing any delivery assessment
- FPIC and grievance mechanism are not documented, creating a safeguards gap for a community-adjacent hydro project in China
