Analysis

The African Biogas Programme in Uganda is a Gold Standard-certified avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality, but it is undermined by an extensive list of material findings (over 30 corrective actions and clarifications), the absence of any buffer pool for an avoidance credit type, a relaxation of the leakage deduction from 5% to 0%, and significant operational issues including 79 households removed from the database and 196 pending grievances. The exact match between claimed and verified emission reductions (33,460 tCO₂e) raises concerns about verification rigour, and the project delivered roughly 322% of the ex-ante estimate found in the 2024 validation report, a ratio that warrants scrutiny.
