Distribution of Improved cook stove - Phase 16

Integrity

The project uses AMS-II.G (version 04.0.0) and the extracted record indicates additionality was confirmed by the VVB (TÜV SÜD South Asia Pvt Ltd). However, the baseline method and the date of any baseline reassessment were not found in the extracted record, which is a major integrity gap for cookstove ER quantification. Leakage is described as quantified in the monitoring report (2022), but the actual leakage deduction percentage was not found, limiting confidence that leakage was conservatively applied.

Transparency

The monitoring report (2022-08-22) clearly states the monitoring period (2012-10-05—2013-10-04) and indicates an annual survey approach for usage monitoring. At the same time, total emission reductions claimed and total emission reductions verified were not found in the extracted record, preventing an independent check of whether issuance aligns with monitored performance. CORSIA eligibility is also not stated in the extracted record, reducing clarity for downstream buyers.

Claim Safety

Claims risk is moderate because several core quantitative fields that buyers rely on (verified ER totals, baseline method, leakage deduction value, and usage rates assumed vs verified) were not found in the extracted record. While the monitoring report (2022) indicates leakage was quantified and provides a high fNRB value (87.9), the absence of the fNRB method and the lack of usage-rate detail make it hard to judge conservativeness. CCP status and CORSIA eligibility were not found in the extracted record, so buyers cannot easily assess alignment with higher-integrity claim frameworks.

Documentation

The evidence list includes the PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and issuance, with 12 documents used and high extraction confidence, which supports a relatively strong documentation score. The monitoring report is dated 2022-08-22, indicating the record includes recent documentation. However, the extracted record contains a crediting-period inconsistency between documents, which reduces confidence in document control and consistency.

Overall

Overall quality is constrained primarily by missing quantification details (baseline method, verified ER totals, leakage deduction value, and usage-rate parameters) that are central to cookstove credit integrity and buyer claim safety. One explicit contradiction exists: the crediting period is listed as 2012-10-05—2022-10-04 in the monitoring report (2022-08-22) versus 2012-12-31—2022-12-30 in the PDD (2021-01-14). I privilege the monitoring report dates because it is the more recent operational document, but the discrepancy still signals reliability issues and warrants a downward adjustment to transparency/documentation.
