Audit Analysis

A-Gas V16 is an HFC reclamation project in Texas with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV SÜD and inherent permanence typical of avoidance-type industrial projects. However, the project-specific baseline, a baseline calculation error (corrected), and a high volume of clerical documentation findings (13 material findings, 11 corrective actions) temper confidence in the underlying data quality. The methodology is well-established and no contradictions were identified across documents.

Red Flags

  • Baseline reclaim rate was initially miscalculated due to an incorrect cell reference, requiring correction during verification (verification report, 2024-05-28)
  • 13 material findings and 11 corrective actions were logged during verification, including missing COAs, missing EPA certification numbers, duplicate serial numbers, and incorrect ER values/dates — all corrected but indicating weak initial documentation controls
  • FPIC was not conducted and no grievance mechanism is described in the available documents, despite safeguards being mentioned
