Audit Analysis
A-Gas 5-2020 is an ozone-depleting-substance destruction project in Ohio registered under the CAR registry for ARB compliance. The verification report confirms 78,211 ERR units with no material findings or corrective actions, and the claimed and verified figures match exactly. However, the available documentation is thin: no additionality test, baseline method, or leakage treatment is recorded, and the monitoring window covers only about six weeks of a ten-year crediting period.
Red Flags
- No additionality assessment or test type is documented in the available records, despite the project relying on a specific ODS methodology (November 2014).
- Baseline method and last reassessment date are not stated in any extracted document, making it impossible to independently verify the counterfactual.
- Leakage deduction and justification are entirely absent from the record; for an ODS project this is less critical than for a carbon project but still an evidence gap.
- The monitoring period (23 Jul – 4 Sep 2020) covers only roughly six weeks of the ten-year crediting period, and no ex-ante lifetime ERR estimate is available for pro-rata comparison.

Risk Indicators
Not documented; ARB compliance context implies regulatory additionality but no explicit test recorded
ODS destruction is inherently permanent; no reversal risk
No leakage deduction or justification found in available documents
Baseline method and reassessment date not stated in extracted record
FPIC, grievance mechanism, and safeguards not documented; US project context reduces risk
CORSIA and CCP status not stated; dual-channel risk not formally excluded
