Audit Analysis

A-Gas 4-2020 is a CAR-registered ozone-depleting-substance destruction project in Ohio, verified by Ruby Canyon Environmental, Inc. The verified ERR of 87,667 matches the claimed figure exactly, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported. However, the extracted record is sparse: additionality, baseline method, and most monitoring details are not stated in the available documents, limiting the depth of quality assessment.

Red Flags

  • No explicit additionality test or baseline method is documented in the extracted record, despite the project being ARB-compliance type where regulatory additionality is implied but not explicitly verified
  • One of the three source documents is listed as 'unknown' type, and extraction confidence is only medium, reducing confidence in the completeness of the evidence base
  • The monitoring period covers only about one month (May 7 – June 4, 2020) within a 10-year crediting period, and no lifetime ex-ante ERR estimate is available to benchmark the verified figure
