Guohua Dalaidong 49.5MW Wind Farm Project in Hulunbeier City

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in Hulunbeier, China, validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a combined additionality test confirmed by ERM. The project design is sound for a wind displacement project, but the available record contains only the validation report with no monitoring or verification data, limiting the ability to assess actual delivery. Several key parameters (FNRB, usage rate, monitoring period) are absent from the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record; actual credit issuance and delivery cannot be independently confirmed.
• ⚠The PDD states a total emission reduction of 797,972 tCO2e while the validation report states 113,996 tCO2e; although this is consistent with an annual-versus-total basis (113,996 × 7 = 797,972), the discrepancy was flagged as a CAR and warrants confirmation that the registry-issued figure matches the VVB-verified annual value.
• ⚠FNRB value and method are not stated in any available document, leaving the baseline emission factor derivation partially opaque.
• ⚠Grid emission factor differs between the validation report (0.96358) and an appendix (1.085); the validation report value is privileged but the source of the higher appendix figure is unexplained.
