Audit Analysis
A registered VCS cookstove project (VMR0006) in India with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but hampered by the absence of any monitoring data, a project-specific baseline with noted assessment gaps, and a high volume of validation-stage corrective actions (7 CARs, 12 CLs) that signal weak initial documentation quality. The PDD originally claimed 37% more credits than the validated figure, and no CORSIA or CCP status is stated.
Red Flags
- PDD (Oct 2022) claimed 24,328,333 tCO2e lifetime ERR while the validation report (Mar 2024) validated only 17,670,670 tCO2e — a 37% overclaim in the developer's initial submission
- No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available; the project's actual performance is entirely unverified
- Seven Corrective Action Requests and twelve Clarification Requests were raised during validation, including errors in additionality test type, fNRB sourcing, and monitoring equations
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
