Audit Analysis
A standard CDM wind farm project in China using the well-established ACM0002 methodology, with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project shows no reversal risk (inherent to wind displacement of grid electricity) and a defensible 0% leakage deduction, but documentation gaps on safeguards, grievance mechanisms, and verified emission-reduction figures limit confidence. Several inter-document contradictions exist but are largely explainable by differing time bases or document roles.
Red Flags
- No FPIC or grievance mechanism is recorded in any available document, creating a safeguards gap
- The verified emission-reduction figure for the monitoring period is absent from the extracted record, preventing independent cross-check of the claimed 721,987 tCO2e lifetime estimate
- Grid emission factor is fixed at the 2007 value (0.9502) with no evidence of periodic update or sensitivity analysis beyond the one corrective action noted
