GS 1220 Ecological Stoves for Better Living - Micro Scale PoA - VPA2 Bolivia
GS-250 ↗ · current registry ID: GS2421
#599of 1329 in Industrial#925of 1801 in Gold Standard (GS)
Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard micro-scale PoA for efficient cook stoves in Bolivia with verified additionality and documented safeguards, but severely under-delivering (only 0.6% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation in the 2022 monitoring period). The VVB (myclimate) appears to be the same entity as the project partner, raising independence concerns, and the project-specific baseline combined with the massive gap between expected and actual performance undermines confidence in the ex-ante estimates.
Red Flags
- Severe under-delivery: only 1.4 tCO2e verified in 2022 versus a pro-rata expectation of ~231 tCO2e (0.6% of expectation), with 290 stoves installed against an expected 3,238
- VVB (myclimate) appears to be the same organization as the project partner (Foundation myclimate), raising a fundamental independence concern
- No activities conducted during 2021 due to lack of funding, indicating project implementation fragility
