A-Gas V2
#18of 345 in United States#9of 147 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
A-Gas V2 is a straightforward HFC refrigerant reclamation project in Ohio with VVB-confirmed additionality and a full match between claimed and verified emissions reductions (23,045 tCO₂e). The project's permanence is inherent to the avoidance mechanism, and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable given the closed-loop reclamation process. Main weaknesses are the project-specific baseline, minimal leakage justification, and a monitoring period covering only ~8.5 months of the 10-year crediting period.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' without a quantitative analysis in the verification report
- Monitoring period (Dec 2019 – Aug 2020) covers only ~8.5 months of the 10-year crediting period, leaving the vast majority of the crediting period unverified
- Crediting period start date discrepancy between the issuance document (Nov 1, 2019) and the validation report (Dec 5, 2019), though the validation report's date is confirmed as the corrected value in the material findings
