CDM-KE-011 Kenya EcoEye Mombasa Project

Audit Analysis

The Kenya EcoEye Mombasa domestic stove project has a VVB-verified additionality assessment and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but suffers from a critical fNRB discrepancy (0.88 in the monitoring report vs 0.29 in the validation report), no buffer pool, unaddressed reversal risk, and no verified ERR figure to benchmark against the 6,243 tCO₂e claimed. Multiple corrective actions across two verification cycles indicate persistent documentation quality issues.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠fNRB value differs by a factor of three between the validation report (0.29, April 2023) and the monitoring report (0.88, September 2025), directly affecting the magnitude of claimed emissions reductions
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, and reversal events are explicitly marked as not addressed, leaving permanence risk unmitigated for a project where users may revert to baseline stoves
• ⚠No verified ERR figure was found in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm whether the 6,243 tCO₂e claimed is supported by monitored data
• ⚠Two separate verification cycles each produced two corrective actions and five clarification letters, indicating recurring documentation deficiencies rather than one-off issues
