Advanced Refrigeration - ARS2025004

Audit Analysis

This ACR Advanced Refrigeration project (ARS2025004) has VVB-confirmed additionality via a combined test and a recognised methodology, but the verification process surfaced six material findings requiring corrective action, including errors in the emissions-reduction total and inconsistent project details across documents. The verified ERR of 151,077 tCO₂e matches the full lifetime ex-ante estimate despite covering only a four-day monitoring window, raising a significant over-crediting concern. Leakage is deemed negligible without a quantified deduction, and the project-specific baseline lacks a stated reassessment date.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Six material findings were reported in the monitoring report (2026-07-17), including errors in the ER total, inconsistent facility start dates, and incorrect refrigerant/location details, each requiring a corrective action
• ⚠The verified ERR of 151,077 tCO₂e equals the full lifetime ex-ante estimate yet was verified over a four-day monitoring window (2025-08-05 to 2025-08-08), representing roughly 915× the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed period
• ⚠Crediting period is inconsistent between the issuance document (2025-01-15 to 2035-01-14) and the monitoring report (2025-08-05 to 2035-08-04), a seven-month discrepancy
• ⚠Leakage is deemed negligible with no quantified deduction or detailed technical justification provided in the extracted record
