Analysis

The Taohua 9 MW small-hydro project (CDM-1569, AMS-I.D) rests on a sound technical foundation: a jurisdictional baseline, a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, and a reasonable 0 % leakage deduction for grid-displacement. However, the verification record carries four corrective actions and one compliance-level finding related to PDD formatting, monitoring-plan transparency, and baseline-scenario justification, and no verified emission-reduction figure is available in the extracted documents to confirm actual delivery against the 108,633 tCO₂e ex-ante estimate.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
