Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard cookstove project in Odisha, India has a confirmed additionality assessment and no reversal events, but is burdened by an extensive list of material findings and corrective actions, including a 44% downward revision of emission reductions after Kitchen Performance Testing, fNRB miscalculations, and inconsistent stove efficiency values across documents. The project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and low extraction confidence in the underlying documents collectively limit confidence in the integrity and accuracy of the credit claims.
Red Flags
- Kitchen Performance Test results forced a 44% reduction in calculated emission reductions, indicating the original ex-ante estimate was substantially over-stated
- fNRB calculation inconsistencies and missing references were flagged as a corrective action, undermining confidence in the netting factor applied
- Stove efficiency values were inconsistent between the PoA Design Document and the VPA Design Document (corrected to 38% per CAR#5)
- Project start date is inconsistent across the LSCR, PDD, and other documents (CAR#02)
