Audit Analysis
A CDM hydropower project in Sichuan, China, with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but significant data gaps including no monitoring reports, no verified ERR, no buffer pool, and a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions. The project's core design is sound for a grid-displacement hydro scheme, but the absence of post-validation data and the ERR contradiction materially limit confidence in the credit claims.
Red Flags
- Total ERR differs by a factor of ~7 between the PDD (8,273,916 tCO2e) and the validation report (1,181,988 tCO2e); no monitoring report is available to reconcile the figures
- Baseline method is described as 'jurisdictional' in the validation report but 'project' in the PDD, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline construction
- No monitoring reports, verification reports, or verified ERR figures are present in the extracted record
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
