Advanced Refrigeration and HFC Draw Down - Project 007 - US (38 states)
#43of 110 in Water#166of 389 in United States#85of 195 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
This ACR-registered HFC drawdown project across 38 US states has VVB-confirmed additionality and a reputable verifier (TÜV/SÜD), but is undermined by internal ERR figure contradictions within the same validation report, four material findings including substantive calculation errors, and a baseline method that is not stated in the available documents. The project is in its first monitoring year of a ten-year crediting period, so long-term performance data is still limited.
Red Flags
- The validation report (2024-10-01) contains two different total ERR figures — 230,064 and 317,089 — for the same reporting period, a 38% discrepancy that is not explained in the extracted record
- The VVB identified that the project's initial calculations used an incorrect annual amortized emission rate and incorrect GWP values for post-June 2021 regulations, requiring corrective action before credits could be confirmed
- The baseline methodology is not stated in any available document, making it impossible to independently assess baseline validity
