Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard household biogas project in Jammu and Punjab with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and a verified ERR that equals 200% of the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period. Multiple corrective actions were raised during verification but reported as satisfactorily closed.
Red Flags
- Verified ERR of 60,112 tCO2e equals 200% of the pro-rata expectation (≈30,056 tCO2e) for the 2.5-year monitoring period against a 5-year crediting period, raising over-crediting concerns
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified
- 12 corrective action requests and 3 clarifications were raised by the VVB; while reported as closed, the volume suggests recurring data-quality issues
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
