Analysis

A Gold Standard biogas project in Nepal with VVB-verified additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by a large number of material findings (16 items), a non-operational digester, a usage-rate gap between assumed (93%) and verified (79%), and an fNRB compliance issue flagged by the VVB. Multiple contradictions across documents—particularly on ERR figures, crediting period, and fNRB method—reduce confidence in the data integrity of the credit claims.
