Audit Analysis
A CDM wind energy project in China with a jurisdictional grid baseline and a VVB-validated ERR of 94,634 tCO₂e over a 7-year crediting period. The project benefits from the inherent permanence of wind (no reversal risk) and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality test details and a monitoring period, and a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on the claimed ERR raises documentation consistency concerns.
Red Flags
- The PDD (Aug 2019) states a total ERR of 662,438 tCO₂e while the validation report (Sep 2019) validates only 94,634 tCO₂e — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that, although resolved in favour of the lower VVB figure, indicates a material inconsistency in the project's foundational documents.
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not captured in the extracted record, leaving a gap in verifying a mandatory CDM requirement.
- Monitoring period is not stated in any available document, limiting the ability to assess MRV cadence and data currency.
