Audit Analysis
A 48 MW onshore wind project in Hebei, China, registered under CDM with a combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV NORD CERT and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The first monitoring period delivered approximately 100% of the pro-rata expectation, indicating no over-crediting. Main concerns are inconsistent leakage justification across documents, several unreported MRV parameters, and the absence of a buffer pool or permanence mechanism.
Red Flags
- Leakage justification is inconsistent: the validation report (2011) states leakage was deemed negligible, while the monitoring report (2012) records it as not addressed, leaving the 0% deduction without a clear, consistent rationale.
- Baseline method is characterised as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report; the jurisdictional reading is consistent with ACM0002 but the discrepancy signals a documentation-quality issue.
- No buffer pool percentage, no reversal-event tracking, and no permanence mechanism are stated in any available document, leaving the permanence risk for a 7-year crediting period unaddressed on paper.
