Hebei Haixing 49.5MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project under CDM with a jurisdictional baseline and a 2015 grid emission factor, but the available record lacks any monitoring data, verified emission reductions, or a documented additionality test. A seven-fold discrepancy in the claimed emission reductions between the validation report and the PDD, combined with low extraction confidence and the absence of a buffer pool, limits confidence in the project's integrity and transparency.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven-fold discrepancy in total emission reductions: the validation report states 103,579 tCO₂ while the PDD states 725,053 tCO₂ — the ratio matches the 7-year crediting period, suggesting one figure is annual and the other is the lifetime total, but neither document explicitly clarifies the basis
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any extracted document, despite being a mandatory CDM requirement
• ⚠No monitoring period, verified emission reductions, or FNRB value found in the available record
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning key data may be present in the source documents but was not reliably captured
