Audit Analysis

A-Gas 2018-3 is a CAR-registered ozone-depleting-substance destruction project in Ohio, verified by SES, Inc. under a compliance offset protocol. The project's inherent permanence (irreversible molecular destruction) and the absence of material findings or contradictions are positive, but the available records lack explicit documentation of the additionality test, baseline method, and leakage treatment, leaving meaningful evidence gaps.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any available document, despite the project relying on a compliance offset protocol
  • Baseline calculation method is not documented in the extracted record; the methodology reference (Compliance Offset Protocol, Nov 2014) is the only anchor
  • Leakage deduction and justification are absent from the record, even though the project type (ODS destruction) would typically warrant an explicit zero-leakage statement
  • Medium extraction confidence across three documents suggests some source material may have been partially unreadable

Risk Indicators

Additionality

Compliance framework supports it; no specific test documented

Permanence

ODS destruction is irreversible; no reversal risk

Leakage

Not documented; project type implies negligible but no explicit statement

Baseline

Method not stated in available records; protocol reference only

Safeguards

Safeguards mentioned but no specific details (FPIC, grievance) found

Double-claim

CORSIA and CCP status not stated; dual-channel risk unconfirmed
