Audit Analysis
The Heiluohe Cascade Hydro Project is a standard CDM small-hydro avoidance project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the available record is limited to the PDD and validation report with no monitoring data, low extraction confidence, and a notable (though explainable) discrepancy in reported emission reduction figures between the two documents.
Red Flags
- No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures are available in the extracted record; actual performance cannot be assessed.
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted data.
- The PDD reports a total of 194,880 tCO₂ while the validation report states 27,840 tCO₂ — a 7× discrepancy that, while likely reflecting annual vs. total crediting-period figures, was not explicitly reconciled in the documents.
