Audit Analysis

A-Gas South Korea 6 is an ODS destruction project under ACR with VVB-confirmed additionality and inherently permanent emission reductions (destroyed ODS cannot be re-released). The primary concerns are a leakage-justification contradiction between the PDD and validation report, and a substantial list of documentation deficiencies (8 material findings, 13 corrective actions) that, while non-technical, indicate quality-control gaps. ERR figures are fully consistent between claimed and verified values.

Red Flags

  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the PDD states leakage is 'deemed negligible' while the validation report records it as 'not addressed' (both dated 2025-12-12)
  • Eight material findings and thirteen corrective actions were raised by the VVB, including an inconsistent emission-reduction total in the Project Plan (Section E7) and missing CEMS calibration information in both the Project Plan and Monitoring Report
  • The Project Plan's table of contents is missing appendices and Section A5 lacks the required US regulatory discussion, indicating incomplete project documentation at validation
