A-Gas Americas 2017-3

Audit Analysis
A-Gas Americas 2017-3 is an ozone-depleting-substance destruction project registered under the CAR standard for U.S. ARB compliance in Ohio. The project type inherently carries strong additionality (legally mandated destruction) and permanence (substance is destroyed, not stored), but the extracted documentation is sparse on baseline methodology, leakage treatment, and additionality testing specifics. No material findings or contradictions were identified, and the verified ERR matches the claimed figure exactly for the short monitoring period.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, despite the project being under ARB compliance (legal requirement); the methodology document (Nov 2014) would define this but it is not reflected in the structured data
- Baseline method and last reassessment date are not stated in available documents, leaving the baseline construction opaque
- Leakage deduction and justification are not stated; while ODS destruction projects typically carry zero leakage, this is not explicitly documented
- Monitoring period covers only ~26 days (Feb 20 – Mar 17, 2017) out of a 10-year crediting period, and no lifetime ex-ante ERR estimate is available for pro-rata comparison

Risk Indicators
ARB compliance implies legal mandate, but specific additionality test not documented in extracted record
ODS destruction eliminates reversal risk; no reversal events reported
Likely zero for ODS destruction, but deduction and justification not stated in documents
Methodology exists (Nov 2014 CAR ODS) but baseline method and reassessment timing not stated
Safeguards mentioned but FPIC and grievance mechanism details not documented
CORSIA and CCP status both not stated; dual-channel risk not explicitly excluded
