Audit Analysis
A small-scale hydropower CDM project in China with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, jurisdictional baseline, and no reported reversal events or material compliance issues. The project is well-documented across 15 sources with high extraction confidence, though several transparency fields (FN/RB method, usage monitoring) are not stated in the extracted record. Minor contradictions between the PDD and validation/monitoring reports were resolved in favour of the more authoritative VVB documents.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor of 0.761689 is based on 2004 data, which predates the 2008 project start by four years; no updated grid EF is recorded in the extracted documents
- Two monitoring reports show different claimed ER figures (53,501 in 2011 vs 36,029 in 2012), which, while likely reflecting different periods, could indicate inconsistent reporting methodology
