Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard improved cooking stove project in Nigeria has a confirmed additionality assessment and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but is undermined by an extensive history of data inconsistencies, calculation errors, and unresolved permanence concerns. The project is CORSIA-eligible with no stated CCP status, creating double-claiming risk, and the monitoring period extends beyond the stated crediting period end date. Most corrective actions were resolved, but the project appears operationally dormant with no new stove sales during the latest monitoring period.
Red Flags
- Permanence risk unaddressed: reversal events listed as 'not addressed' and no buffer pool percentage stated in available documents, despite the inherent risk of stove abandonment or breakage in a domestic cooking project
- CORSIA eligibility confirmed with CCP status not stated, creating potential for dual-channel credit use without clear exclusivity safeguards
- Monitoring period (Jul 2021–Jun 2022) extends seven months beyond the stated crediting period end date (Nov 2021), raising questions about the validity of credits issued for that overlap
- Extensive material findings across multiple verification cycles include efficiency calculation errors, duplicate stove serial numbers, and inconsistencies in emission reduction calculations between the monitoring report and ER spreadsheet
- Project appears operationally dormant: no new stoves sold during the latest monitoring period due to safety and conflict conditions, with significantly elevated drop-out rates
