Audit Analysis
A CDM wind farm project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standard grid-emission-factor baseline, but undermined by a seven-fold discrepancy in claimed emission reductions between the PDD and the validation report, multiple unreported monitoring parameters, and only a single six-month monitoring period available. The project's inherent low reversal risk as a wind installation is a positive, yet the data inconsistencies and documentation gaps limit confidence in the credit volume.
Red Flags
- Total ERR claimed differs by a factor of seven between the PDD (703,731 tCO₂e) and the validation report (100,533 tCO₂e), raising serious questions about which figure is authoritative
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report, creating ambiguity about the baseline construction
- Verified ERR for the monitoring period is not stated in the available monitoring report, preventing any pro-rata delivery check
