Audit Analysis

A-Gas V18 is an HFC reclamation project in Texas validated by TÜV SÜD America under ACR's certified-reclaimed-HFC methodology (V2.0). Additionality was confirmed via a combined test and permanence is inherent to the technology, but the validation report carries 20 material findings and 8 outstanding corrective actions—spanning quantity mismatches, missing COAs, and reporting-period errors—that significantly undermine confidence in the project's data integrity and documentation quality.

Red Flags

  • The validation report (2025-04-02) lists 20 material findings, including quantity mismatches for R407C and R410a between purchase orders and ER calculations, missing COAs, and a reporting-period mismatch between the Project Plan and Monitoring Report
  • Eight corrective actions remain open, including missing attestation for the source of HFC in cylinders over 500 lbs and missing equipment details for HFC extraction—gaps that touch on baseline and additionality evidence
  • Minimum extraction confidence across the document set is rated low, and one of the seven source documents could not be identified (listed as 'unknown')
  • The baseline is project-specific with no reassessment date stated in the available documents
