Audit Analysis
A 49.5 MW CDM wind farm in China with VVB-confirmed additionality (combined test by DNV) and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction for grid-displacement technology. However, 21 material findings at validation revealed significant initial calculation and documentation errors, and four cross-document contradictions (baseline method, ERR figures, leakage justification, crediting period) create residual uncertainty about the robustness of the credit claims.
Red Flags
- 21 material findings at validation including incorrect emission factor calculations, inadequate IRR sensitivity analysis, and missing spatial boundaries — all corrected but indicating a weak initial additionality case
- Baseline method contradicts between the PDD (jurisdictional) and the 2012 monitoring report (project-specific), creating ambiguity about the actual baseline approach
- Total ERR claimed differs by a factor of ~2.2 between the 2010 monitoring report (65,495 tCO2e) and the 2012 monitoring report (146,274 tCO2e), with no VVB-verified figure available in the extracted record
- Leakage justification is inconsistent: the validation report (2009) states 'deemed negligible' while the monitoring report (2012) states 'quantified', despite both documents reporting a 0% deduction
