Hadebute Hydropower Project in Fuyun County Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China

Audit Analysis

The Hadebute Hydropower Project is a small-scale CDM hydro project in Xinjiang, China, with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the available record is limited to the validation stage (2012), with no monitoring reports, no buffer pool information, and a significant discrepancy between the PDD's claimed emissions reductions (3.34 MtCO₂e) and the VVB-verified figure (476 ktCO₂e). The project's crediting period ended in April 2020, and the absence of post-validation data limits confidence in actual delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Major ERR discrepancy: the PDD (Oct 2012) claims 3,334,352 tCO₂e while the validation report (Nov 2012) confirms only 476,336 tCO₂e — a factor of ~7 difference that raises questions about the PDD's accuracy
• ⚠No monitoring reports found in the extracted record despite the crediting period (2013–2020) having fully elapsed, leaving actual delivery unverified
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status not stated, leaving double-claiming risk unassessed
