Analysis

A small CDM hydro project in Hunan, China, validated by Bureau Veritas in 2017 under methodology ACM0002. The project has a jurisdictional baseline and a 7-year crediting period, but the documents reviewed contain five significant contradictions across documents — most critically a seven-fold discrepancy in the ex-ante emission reduction estimate (184,248 tCO₂e in the validation report versus 1,289,736 tCO₂e in the PDD) — and no monitoring or verification data is available to confirm actual delivery. Additionality test details are absent from the available documents, and safeguards documentation is only partially present.
