Air Bag Gas Substitution
#51of 345 in United States#20of 147 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
Nike's airbag gas substitution project (replacing SF6/C3F8) is a well-verified industrial avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a clean leakage assessment. However, the documentation record is thin (only two documents), several MRV parameters are unstated, and a minor contradiction exists on the additionality test type between the methodology and the verification report.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type is inconsistent between documents: the methodology describes a 'regulatory' test while the verification report (2006-07-31) records a 'barrier' test — the VVB's independent finding is privileged, but the discrepancy weakens the audit trail.
- Only two source documents (verification report and methodology) are available; no separate PDD, monitoring report, or project design document was found in the extracted record, limiting the ability to cross-check baseline assumptions and MRV protocols.
