Audit Analysis
A CDM wind farm project in China with a solid additionality case (IRR below benchmark without CDM revenues) and inherent permanence as an avoidance project. However, a significant discrepancy between the PDD's claimed 698,999 tCO2e and the validation report's verified 99,857 tCO2e raises data-reliability concerns, and several key monitoring and safeguards fields are absent from the extracted record.
Red Flags
- The PDD claims 698,999 tCO2e over the crediting period while the validation report verifies only 99,857 tCO2e — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that, although resolved in favour of the lower VVB-verified figure, signals a weak initial quantification and raises over-crediting risk in the project's own documentation.
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report (2011) states leakage was 'deemed negligible' while the monitoring report (2014) describes it as 'quantified,' yet the deduction in both cases is 0%.
- No verified ER figure (total_err_verified) was found in any available document, leaving the actual delivered credits unconfirmed in the extracted record.
