Advanced Refrigeration US49 - ARS 006

Audit Analysis
This ACR-registered advanced refrigeration project in Missouri has a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but the verification report identified seven material findings involving incorrect baseline charge sizes, wrong GWP values, and miscalculated project emissions. The 0% leakage deduction lacks a consistent justification across documents, and the ERR figures differ between the validation and verification reports, creating uncertainty about the true credit volume.
Red Flags
- Seven material findings in the verification report (2022-03-08) include incorrect baseline charge sizes, wrong baseline refrigerant GWP, and project emissions calculated with the wrong charge size, undermining baseline validity
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified as 'deemed negligible' in the PDD but described as 'not addressed' in the validation report, and the verification report flags activity-shifting leakage as incompatible with the methodology
- ERR figures conflict between documents: the validation report (2023-08) states 351,233 while the verification report (2022-03-08) states 25,376, a 14-fold difference that is not reconciled in the extracted record
