Audit Analysis
A 20 MW solar PV project in China under CDM (ACM0002) with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality. The project is methodologically sound for its type, but the available record is limited to validation-stage documents with no monitoring or verification data, and two minor contradictions between the PDD and validation report reduce confidence in the completeness of the evidence base.
Red Flags
- No monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record; the only ERR figure available is the ex-ante lifetime claim of 207,319 tCO2e with no verified counterpart.
- Nine material findings were raised during validation (including inconsistent solar-cell and inverter data, missing monitoring variables, and an undefined plant load factor), all resolved but indicating initial documentation gaps.
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report states 'deemed negligible' while an appendix references a 'quantified' treatment, leaving the actual basis ambiguous.
