Analysis

A VCS cookstove distribution project in India with a reputable VVB (TÜV SÜD) and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but with notable gaps: no buffer pool, project-specific baseline without a stated reassessment date, and an unverified usage rate. The verified ERR of 61,178 tCO₂e for the 5-year monitoring period represents roughly 95% of the pro-rata expectation derived from the PDD's 10-year lifetime estimate of 129,450 tCO₂e, indicating modest under-delivery and a conservative claim.
