American Refrigerants HFC Reclamation Project - 2024
#44of 345 in United States#19of 147 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
The American Refrigerants HFC Reclamation Project is a discrete industrial emissions-reduction activity with VVB-confirmed additionality and a dedicated HFC reclamation methodology. However, the monitoring report surfaced 27 material findings—ranging from lab-certification lapses to tracking-spreadsheet errors and ineligible-product mixing—that, while all resolved, point to a fragile MRV process. The 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification, and the project-specific baseline lacks the robustness of a jurisdictional reference.
Red Flags
- 27 material findings in the monitoring report (NCRs and NIRs) covering lab-certification gaps, weight discrepancies, ineligible-product mixing, and tracking errors indicate a high volume of quality-control issues in the MRV chain
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantitative analysis or scenario testing in the extracted record
- End-use tracking of reclaimed HFCs is not stated in the available documents, leaving a gap in confirming that reclaimed refrigerants are actually deployed rather than re-emitted
