Distribution of Improved cook stove - Phase 17

Integrity

The monitoring report (2022-10-03) indicates the project applies a project-specific baseline approach and reports 60,070 tCO2e verified for the stated monitoring period. Additionality is confirmed by the VVB (TÜV SÜD South Asia Pvt Ltd) per the extracted record, and no material findings or corrective actions are reported. However, although leakage is described as quantified in the monitoring report, the actual leakage deduction percentage is not found in the extracted record, and baseline reassessment timing is also not stated—both weaken robustness.

Transparency

The monitoring period (2012-12-04—2017-12-03) and total verified emission reductions (60,070 tCO2e) are clearly captured from the monitoring report (2022-10-03), supporting basic traceability. Usage monitoring is described as annual survey, but neither the assumed usage rate nor the verified usage rate is found in the extracted record, which limits the ability to independently judge performance assumptions. The total ERs claimed are also not found in the extracted record, reducing transparency on any claim-to-verify delta.

Claim Safety

Over-crediting risk remains moderate because the baseline is project-specific and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in the extracted record (monitoring report/PDD set). Leakage is said to be quantified, but without the leakage deduction value in the extracted record it is hard to judge conservativeness. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, which increases uncertainty for buyers making high-integrity or compliance-adjacent claims.

Documentation

The evidence set is relatively complete on paper, with PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and issuance listed, and 12 documents used with high extraction confidence. The monitoring report is dated 2022-10-03 and covers a historical monitoring period, indicating documentation exists for verification/issuance. Documentation quality is reduced by an 'unknown' document entry and by an internal inconsistency on the crediting period across the monitoring report and PDD.

Overall

Overall quality is moderate: VVB-confirmed additionality and the absence of reported findings/corrective actions support credibility, but missing quantified parameters (leakage deduction and usage-rate results) constrain confidence in the ER number. The key contradiction is the crediting period: the monitoring report (2022-10-03) states 2012-10-02—2022-10-01, while the PDD (2020-09-17) states 2013-01-01—2022-12-31. I privilege the monitoring report dates because it is the more recent MRV document tied to verification/issuance, but the inconsistency still indicates recordkeeping or boundary/date-definition risk and warrants a score penalty.
