Audit Analysis

A one-time Advanced Refrigerant conversion project across five US states with VVB-confirmed additionality and a near-complete first-period delivery (61,382 of 61,395 tCO₂e lifetime estimate). However, five material findings in the monitoring report—including incorrect baseline leak data and a GWP source discrepancy—raise meaningful data-quality concerns, and the project-specific baseline lacks a documented reassessment schedule.

Red Flags

  • Five material findings in the monitoring report, including project refrigerant data erroneously included in baseline leak calculations and a GWP value discrepancy between EPA SNAP and IPCC AR5 for R-449A
  • Project-specific baseline with no documented reassessment date or schedule found in the extracted record
  • Crediting period start date differs between the monitoring report (2022-08-01) and another document (2022-11-28), creating ambiguity about the exact project start
