Audit Analysis
A VCS cookstove project (VMR0006) in Cambodia with VVB-confirmed additionality, a quantified 5% leakage deduction, and no reported reversal events. However, the project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and multiple contradictions between the 2024 and 2025 verification/monitoring cycles (particularly on safeguards, usage rate, and ERR figures) moderate confidence in the overall integrity and transparency of the record.
Red Flags
- Five safeguards-related fields (FPIC, grievance mechanism, benefit sharing, safeguards) flipped from 'not present' in the September 2024 verification report to 'present' in the October 2025 report, raising questions about whether safeguards were retroactively documented or the earlier report was incomplete.
- Verified usage rate dropped from 0.99 (November 2024 monitoring report) to 0.8083 (October 2025 monitoring report), a 18% decline that is not explained in the extracted record.
- Total ERR figures differ between the 2024 cycle (82,882 tCO2e) and the 2025 issuance (115,515 tCO2e); while these may reflect different monitoring periods, the 39% increase warrants scrutiny.
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a project where household reversion to traditional stoves is a plausible reversal pathway.
