Analysis

A 70 MW hydropower project in Qinghai, China, validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 by Bureau Veritas, with a jurisdictional baseline and a lifetime emission reduction estimate of approximately 948,000 tCO₂e. The project is structurally sound but suffers from a material data discrepancy in the PDD electricity figures, a thin leakage justification, and a complete absence of monitoring or verification data for the 2015–2022 crediting period. No contradictions were found between documents, but the evidence base is limited to the 2015 validation phase.
