Audit Analysis

The Huadian Laizhou Wind Farm is a straightforward CDM wind project with a solid additionality case (combined test, IRR below benchmark, VVB-confirmed) and standard zero-leakage treatment under ACM0002. However, documentation gaps around verified ERR figures, safeguards detail, and a contradiction in baseline classification between the PDD and monitoring report moderate confidence. The project is low-risk on permanence (avoidance-type) but lacks transparency on CORSIA/CCP status.

Red Flags

  • Baseline method is labelled 'project' in the 2012 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the PDD — the grid emission factor (1.0755 tCO2e/MWh, combined margin, 2007) is jurisdictional in nature, suggesting a mischaracterisation in the later document
  • Crediting period differs between the validation report (2009-10-01 to 2016-09-30) and the 2012 monitoring report (2010-08-30 to 2017-08-29), creating ambiguity about the actual project lifetime
  • Total ERR verified figure is not stated in any available document; only claimed figures (73,569 and 64,512 for different periods) are available
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
