Heilongjiang Fujin Phase II 18MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A straightforward 18 MW onshore wind project in Heilongjiang, China, registered under CDM with a well-established methodology (ACM0002 v13). Additionality is VVB-confirmed via a combined test and the baseline uses a standard grid emission factor, but the project suffers from inconsistent leakage treatment across documents, missing verified emission figures, and absent safeguards documentation (FPIC, grievance mechanism). Four administrative corrective actions were raised, and no verification report appears in the evidence set.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage treatment is inconsistent: the validation report (2012) deems leakage negligible, but the monitoring report (2022) does not address leakage at all, leaving the 0% deduction without a clear, current justification.
• ⚠Verified emission reduction figures are not stated in any available document; only the claimed total of 252,570 tCO2e (monitoring report) is available, preventing independent cross-checking.
• ⚠Four corrective actions were required by the VVB, including correction of the baseline emission factor and an interest-rate calculation error in the IRR, indicating quality-control gaps in the original submission.
• ⚠Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) and a grievance mechanism are not documented in any available record, despite safeguards being mentioned in general terms.
