Audit Analysis

A-Gas ODS-VER3 is a straightforward ozone-depleting-substance destruction project in Ohio with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a clear methodology (ODS/High-GWP Foam v2.0). However, four material findings—including a US EPA ECHO database violation and missing scale-calibration evidence—along with a contradiction between the PDD and validation report on leakage treatment, temper confidence in the project's procedural rigor. The verified ERR of 25,510 matches the ex-ante lifetime estimate exactly, consistent with a one-time destruction event.

Red Flags

  • Four material findings in the monitoring report, including a Q1/2024 violation in the US EPA ECHO database (used-oil labeling) and missing scale-calibration evidence prior to project start, with four corresponding corrective actions still open.
  • Contradiction between the PDD (leakage deemed negligible) and the validation report (leakage not addressed), leaving the leakage treatment ambiguous across the project record.
  • Baseline is project-specific with no reassessment date stated in any available document.
