Audit Analysis
A California advanced refrigeration project (ACR-791) with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and jurisdictional baseline. The verified emissions reductions (13,360 tCO₂e) match the ex-ante lifetime estimate (13,365 tCO₂e) to within 0.04%, consistent with a one-time refrigerant replacement credit. Four material findings related to data-quality issues (cooling capacity, charge sizes, store dates, parameter references) were identified and corrected, but the thin leakage justification and absence of a documented grievance mechanism limit confidence.
Red Flags
- Four material findings in the verification report (2022) flagged inconsistencies in cooling capacity calculations, refrigerant charge sizes, and store opening dates — all corrected but indicating initial data-quality weaknesses
- Leakage justification is inconsistent across documents: the validation report (2022-09) records it as 'not addressed' while the PDD (2022-11) states it was 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis
- No grievance mechanism or FPIC documentation found in the extracted record, despite safeguards being mentioned
