Analysis

This Gold Standard electric cooking VPA in Uganda has verified additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but is significantly undermined by a major discrepancy in reported emission reductions (637 vs 143,455 tCO₂e across documents), a 100% usage-rate assumption, and the absence of a buffer pool. Multiple contradictions in monitoring method, fnrb basis, and crediting period further erode confidence in the data integrity of the project record.

    Source: registry label · read on 4 Oct 2026

    Covers: credits of this project that carry the label on the registry — not every unit or lot

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: registry label · read on 4 Oct 2026

    Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published
