Audit Analysis
The Heishan Fangshan Wind Power Project is a CDM wind project with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV Rheinland and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. However, the available record is limited to validation-stage documents with no monitoring reports, several key operational parameters are unstated, and a notable discrepancy in the reported emission reduction figures (annual vs. lifetime) between the PDD and validation report introduces documentation uncertainty.
Red Flags
- The PDD reports a total emission reduction of 770,581 tCO2 while the validation report states 110,083 tCO2 — a 7:1 ratio matching the 7-year crediting period, indicating the PDD stated the lifetime total while the validation report stated the annual figure; this presentation inconsistency could mislead readers comparing the two documents.
- Total claimed and verified emission reductions are identical (110,083 tCO2) with no monitoring period stated, making it impossible to confirm whether the verified figure reflects actual metered output or a restatement of the ex-ante estimate.
- No buffer pool percentage, permanence data, or reversal-event history is present in the extracted record, leaving the project's permanence safeguards unverified.
