PDD check for Gold Standard and Verra projects

Know what your validator will ask before you submit the PDD

Harva reads a project design document against the methodology, the CDM tools and the standard's requirements. It lists the clarifications and corrective actions a validator is likely to raise, and every point comes with the page and the exact words it rests on.

Send a PDD tonight and have the list back the next morning.

One exampleAuditor raised it too

50 MW wind farm, annual generation

242.5 GWh a year does not fit 4,663.8 full-load hours at 50 MW, which comes to about 233 GWh.

The auditor later raised the same point as a corrective action and the figure was revised.

What it checks

The same ground a desk review covers

Each point is tied to the page and the words it comes from, so you can see why it was raised.

  • Methodology applicability
  • Technical data and plant load factor
  • The project boundary
  • The baseline and the vintage of the grid emission factor
  • Additionality and the tool versions behind it
  • The start date and project cycle
  • Monitoring parameters and meter locations
  • The emission reduction arithmetic
  • Stakeholder consultation
  • SDG claims and safeguards
  • Eligibility and declarations
  • Whether the figures agree from section to section

Tested against real validations

Four Gold Standard projects, checked against the auditor's own findings

We took two wind farms and two landfill gas plants and gave the tool only the first PDD each developer submitted. We then compared its list with the findings the accredited auditor raised later.

It also caught errors that were corrected in the final PDDs without a formal finding, such as a methodology reference left over from another project and SDG text copied from a different site.
