Audit Analysis

The Hamzali 16.7 MW hydro project has VVB-confirmed additionality and a functioning grievance mechanism, but suffers from a project-specific baseline, an unaddressed 0% leakage deduction, no buffer pool, and a low extraction confidence across 21 documents. Multiple corrective actions remain open and the verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record, limiting confidence in the claimed 72,823 tCO2e.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the 2023 verification report, contradicting an earlier 'deemed negligible' statement
  • No buffer pool percentage found in any document and reversal events explicitly not addressed, leaving permanence risk unquantified
  • Total ERR verified figure is absent from the extracted record, preventing independent cross-check of the 72,823 tCO2e claimed
  • FAR #2 remains unclosed per the 2023 verification report, and 5 CARs plus 16 CLs were raised
  • Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
