Analysis

A small-scale (10.5 MW) CDM hydropower project in China with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional grid baseline, but the validation report identified four corrective actions including a non-conservative rounding of the grid emission factor that inflates claimed reductions. No monitoring data or verified emissions reductions are available in the extracted record, and the leakage justification is thin. The project is structurally sound for its type but carries moderate data-quality and over-crediting risk.

  • 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.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published
