Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard improved cook stove project in Rwanda has a verified combined additionality test and a 5% leakage deduction, but is now deactivated with no buffer pool, no verified ERR figure, and multiple unresolved contradictions in FNRB values and crediting periods. The project's deactivation, combined with the absence of permanence safeguards and incomplete monitoring data, significantly undermines confidence in the integrity and safety of any credits previously issued.
Red Flags
- Project is listed as deactivated, meaning no ongoing MRV and permanence risk is realized
- No buffer pool or reversal mechanism documented for a cook stove project where stoves can break or be replaced
- FNRB contradiction: 0.98 in the 2016 monitoring report vs 0.77 in the 2021 validation report — a 27% discrepancy in a key emission factor
- Total ERR contradiction: 107,810 tCO2eq (Dec 2017 monitoring) vs 68,493 tCO2eq (Jan 2017 monitoring) — a 57% difference between two monitoring reports
- Leakage deduction of 5% is stated but the justification is explicitly 'not addressed' in the verification report
