Audit Analysis

A VCS-registered cookstove project in rural India with a well-verified combined additionality test, quantified 5% leakage deduction, and no material findings. However, a significant discrepancy between the PDD's annual ERR estimate (164,300 tCO₂e) and the monitoring report's figure (705,715 tCO₂e) raises data-reliability questions, and CORSIA/CCP eligibility is not stated in any available document.

Red Flags

  • The PDD (Dec 2023) reports an ERR of 164,300 tCO₂e while the monitoring report (Aug 2024) reports 705,715 tCO₂e — a 4.3× discrepancy that is not explained in the extracted record and undermines confidence in the magnitude of claimed credits.
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving the project's dual-channel risk unassessed.
  • The crediting period differs between the PDD (Dec 2021 – Nov 2028) and the verification report (May 2022 – May 2029), a ~5-month shift that, while possibly reflecting a registration adjustment, is not reconciled in the documents.
