Guohua Fuyu Youyi North Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project in China using the well-established ACM0002 methodology, with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional grid baseline appropriate for the sector. The project delivered roughly 85% of its pro-rata expected emissions reductions over the first two-year monitoring period, consistent with normal wind capacity-factor variability. Documentation gaps (missing verified ERR figure, absent FN/RB method, unresolved baseline-method contradiction) and eight initial material findings (all since resolved) temper an otherwise sound design.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method described as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report — a contradiction that, while likely a labelling error, introduces ambiguity about the baseline basis.
• ⚠No verified ERR figure (total_err_verified) is present in the extracted record, making independent cross-checking of claimed reductions impossible.
• ⚠Grid emission factor is from 2008; no evidence of periodic grid-EF updates across the crediting period.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel or double-claiming risk unassessed.
