Analysis

The Erlongshan Hydropower Project is a small-scale CDM hydro displacement project validated by CCSC in 2021, but the extracted record contains significant gaps and contradictions that undermine confidence in the underlying data. The additionality assessment is not captured in the available documents, and a 61% discrepancy in the grid emission factor between the validation report and an appendix raises material over-crediting risk. Low extraction confidence and the absence of any monitoring-period data further limit the ability to verify delivery.
