Audit Analysis

A small-scale hydropower CDM project (ACM0002 v16) in Guizhou, China, with a jurisdictional baseline and investment-test additionality. The methodology is well-established and the leakage treatment is appropriate for the project type, but the extracted record lacks verified emission reductions, a monitoring period, and several safeguards details, limiting confidence in the full MRV chain.

Red Flags

  • No verified emission reduction figures or monitoring period found in the extracted record despite the crediting period (2016–2023) having elapsed
  • One document in the evidence set is identified only as 'unknown', reducing traceability of the source data
  • FPIC and grievance mechanism are not documented in the available records
