Audit Analysis
The Global Cookstove Program (EKI Phase 08) is a VCS-registered energy demand project in India with confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but it suffers from a significant ERR discrepancy between the PDD and validation report, absence of any monitoring data, and numerous material findings that required resolution. The project-specific baseline, lack of stated buffer pool, and unknown CORSIA/CCP status introduce moderate over-crediting and double-claiming risks.
Red Flags
- ERR discrepancy of 7.3× between PDD (353,863 tCO₂e) and validation report (48,690 tCO₂e) — the validated figure is privileged as more recent, but the magnitude of the gap warrants scrutiny of scope changes
- No monitoring report or verified ERR figure found in the extracted record despite the crediting period starting August 2023
- 18 material findings at validation including baseline cookstove efficiency, fNRB calculation, and missing data — all resolved but indicating a weak initial submission
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status both unknown — dual-channel risk cannot be excluded
