Audit Analysis
A CDM wind power project in China validated by DNV in 2012 with a standard investment-test additionality assessment and jurisdictional grid baseline. However, significant contradictions exist between the PDD and validation report on both the grid emission factor and total ERR, no monitoring or verification reports are available, and the extraction confidence is low, limiting confidence in the project's actual performance and data reliability.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor discrepancy of ~12.6% between the PDD (0.9636) and the validation appendix (1.0852), directly affecting credit calculations
- Total ERR discrepancy of 43% between the PDD (378,000 tCO2e) and the validation report (540,000 tCO2e), raising data reliability concerns
- No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures available for the entire 7-year crediting period (2012–2019)
- Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
- Grid emission factor sourced from 2009 data, applied in a 2012 validation, potentially overstating displacement credits as China's grid was decarbonising
