Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China validated in 2012 with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, but the record is undermined by a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, eleven material findings questioning additionality rigor and legal compliance, and a complete absence of monitoring or verified-credit data. The project's core design (wind displacing grid electricity) carries low inherent leakage and reversal risk, yet the documentation gaps and data contradictions limit confidence in the credit quantity.

Red Flags

  • ERR contradiction: the PDD (May 2012) claims 596,001 tCO₂e while the validation report (May 2012) states 85,143 tCO₂e — a roughly 7× discrepancy with no documented reconciliation
  • Eleven material findings (CARs and CLs) in the validation report question the additionality analysis, legal compliance (missing Letters of Agreement), construction-date consistency, and monitoring design
  • No monitoring reports, verified ERR figures, or monitoring-period data are present in the extracted record
  • No Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) or grievance mechanism is documented despite safeguards being mentioned

Credit Vintages

No issuances recorded on the registry.
