Guohua Tongliao Kezuozhongqi Housijing Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project with VVB-confirmed additionality but significant data quality issues: three corrective action requests (including baseline formula errors), a 47% upward revision of the lifetime ERR between validation and monitoring reports, and contradictory baseline method descriptions. The project's avoidance nature limits permanence risk, but the 0% leakage deduction lacks consistent justification across documents.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Lifetime ERR revised upward by 47% (from 110,249 in the validation report to 162,118 in the monitoring report), raising over-crediting concerns
• ⚠Three corrective action requests at validation, including incorrect formulae and parameters for baseline emissions calculation (CAR 3)
• ⚠Baseline method described as 'jurisdictional' in the validation report but 'project' in the monitoring report — a fundamental methodological inconsistency
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification stated as 'deemed negligible' in the validation report but 'not addressed' in the monitoring report
• ⚠No verified ERR figure found in the extracted record; total_err_verified is absent from all available documents
