Audit Analysis
A CDM hydro power project with a jurisdictional baseline and inherently low permanence risk, but significant documentation gaps including no monitoring reports, an unverified additionality assessment, and a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions. The project's crediting period has expired (March 2023) with no verified performance data available to confirm actual delivery.
Red Flags
- Total ERR differs by a factor of ~7 between the PDD (909,433 tCO2e) and the validation report (129,919 tCO2e), indicating a major error in the project developer's original calculation
- No monitoring reports or verified emissions reductions are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual credit delivery
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any available document
- Three material findings (CARs) were raised during validation, including a correction to the hydro reservoir emissions assessment standard from 4 W/m² to 10 W/m²
