Audit Analysis
A standard CDM wind farm project using the well-established ACM0002 methodology with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. The main weakness is the absence of any monitoring report or verified emission reduction figures, leaving the 586,068 tCO₂e claim unconfirmed against actual performance. Initial documentation contained multiple errors (all corrected), and no buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented, though reversal risk is inherently low for grid-displacement wind projects.
Red Flags
- No monitoring report or verified ERR figures available — the 586,068 tCO₂e claim rests solely on the ex-ante validation estimate with no post-implementation confirmation
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism documented; while wind projects carry low physical reversal risk, the grid emission factor (0.89635, 2011) could decline as China's grid decarbonises, eroding the baseline
- Eight material findings and eight corrective actions were raised during validation, indicating significant initial documentation deficiencies (PLF typo, incorrect coordinates, missing stakeholder surveys, inconsistent loan data)
Credit Vintages
