Audit Analysis
A 49.3 MW onshore wind project in Hebei, China, verified by Applus+ Certification under VCS methodology ACM0002 v20.0. Additionality is VVB-confirmed and the jurisdictional baseline is sound, but a major discrepancy in verified emission reduction figures (48,321 vs 541,324 tCO₂) across two verification reports raises data-reliability concerns. The project is inherently low-risk on permanence (avoidance-type) and leakage (0% deduction is reasonable for grid-connected wind), yet several key monitoring parameters remain unreported.
Red Flags
- Verified ERR of 541,324 tCO₂ in the October 2022 verification report is ~11× the 48,321 tCO₂ in the December 2022 verification report for the same 6-month monitoring period; the higher figure is physically implausible for a 49.3 MW plant in 6 months and suggests a cumulative or multi-period figure was misrecorded as a single-period value
- Crediting-period start date differs by 10 years between the verification report (2009-01-08) and the monitoring report (2019-01-08), creating ambiguity about the project's actual registration timeline and the applicable baseline period
- Leakage justification is recorded as 'quantified' in the December 2022 verification report but 'not addressed' in the October 2022 verification report, indicating inconsistent treatment across verification cycles
