Audit Analysis
The Hebei Shiren II Wind Power Project is a CDM-registered wind avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable zero-leakage claim, but it suffers from a fixed 2009 grid emission factor that has not been updated, a missing verified ERR figure, and several unresolved documentation gaps. The project is fundamentally sound in design but lacks the monitoring depth and baseline currency expected of a high-quality credit.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor fixed at the 2009 value (0.9502 tCO₂/MWh) with no evidence of periodic updating, creating over-crediting risk as China's grid decarbonises
- Verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 36,238 tCO₂ lifetime claim
- Contradiction in baseline method between the PDD (jurisdictional) and the 2013 monitoring report (project-specific) undermines confidence in the baseline construction
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
