Audit Analysis

A-Gas South Korea 4 is an ozone-depleting substance (R11) destruction project under ACR with VVB-confirmed additionality and inherent permanence, as the destroyed substance cannot be reversed. However, the project relies on a project-specific baseline, the leakage treatment is inconsistent between the PDD and the validation report, and the low extraction confidence across six documents limits assurance on data completeness.

Red Flags

  • Contradiction on leakage: the PDD (May 2024) does not address leakage, while the validation report (Nov 2024) deems it negligible — the VVB's later assessment is privileged, but the inconsistency weakens the record.
  • Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing assurance on the completeness of the extracted evidence.
  • No verification report appears in the evidence document list; only a validation report (Nov 2024) is present, leaving the first monitoring period's verification unconfirmed in the available record.
