Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but the available record is limited to validation-era documents with no monitoring data for the full 2012–2019 crediting period. A seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, combined with seven material findings (including an insufficient common-practice analysis), raises meaningful concerns about the robustness of the additionality claim and the reliability of the credited volume.

Red Flags

  • Seven-fold discrepancy in total ERR: the PDD (Dec 2012) states 701,428 tCO₂e while the validation report (Dec 2012) records 100,204 tCO₂e — the VVB-validated figure is privileged, but the gap signals a weak initial claim
  • Seven material findings in the validation report, including an insufficient demonstration that Nall = 0 in the common-practice analysis, undermining the additionality case
  • No monitoring reports or verified ERR data available for the entire 7-year crediting period (2012–2019)
  • Low extraction confidence on at least one key document, reducing reliability of the extracted record

Credit Vintages

No issuances recorded on the registry.
