Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW CDM wind farm in Hebei, China, with a 14-year crediting period and a single 10-month monitoring report. The project suffers from significant data gaps (additionality test type, FNRB, usage monitoring all unstated) and four contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports, including materially different ERR figures and baseline characterizations. The 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for a grid-connected wind project but is inconsistently justified across documents.

Red Flags

  • ERR figures differ by nearly 2× between the validation report (100,527 tCO2e) and the monitoring report (57,498 tCO2e), with no clear explanation of the different bases
  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any available document
  • Leakage justification is contradictory: 'deemed negligible' in the validation report vs 'not addressed' in the monitoring report
  • Baseline method is described as 'project-specific' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report
