Audit Analysis
A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in China validated under CDM with a combined additionality test confirmed by ERM CVS, but the available record is heavily skewed toward the 2012 validation stage with no monitoring data. A seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on lifetime emissions raises serious data-reliability questions, and the absence of buffer-pool, FN/RB, and monitoring details leaves key integrity and transparency gaps unaddressed.
Red Flags
- Seven-fold discrepancy in lifetime ERR: the PDD (Sep 2012) states 745,962 tCO₂ while the validation report (Oct 2012) states 106,566 tCO₂; the validated figure is roughly one year's expected output for a 49.5 MW turbine, suggesting a possible unit or period error in one of the two documents.
- Three Corrective Action Requests (CARs) and one Comment (CL) were raised in the validation report regarding additionality tool version, common-practice analysis, and policy description, yet the corrective-actions list in the merged record is empty, creating ambiguity about whether these were resolved.
