Analysis

A long-running Gold Standard biomass cookstove project in Uganda with VVB-confirmed additionality, but undermined by an extensive list of material findings, calculation errors, and MRV inconsistencies identified across multiple verification cycles. The project-specific baseline, unaddressed reversal risk, and 0% leakage deduction raise over-crediting concerns, while the verified usage rate (79.6%) falling below the assumed rate (90%) provides some conservatism. Documentation is voluminous (29 documents) but of uneven quality, with numerous corrective actions still required.
