Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard water-purification project in Rwanda that displaces thermal energy (boiling) with a verified 100% usage rate and no over-crediting in the reporting period. However, multiple material findings, a corrective action on potential double claiming, a project-specific baseline, and the absence of a stated buffer pool or additionality test type limit confidence in the integrity and claim-safety profile.
Red Flags
- Corrective action requires the project developer to clarify whether access to alternative water-purification technology is covered under another project and how double claiming is avoided
- Additionality test type is not stated in the extracted record despite VVB confirmation, limiting traceability of the additionality argument
- Crediting period dates differ between the PDD (2022-05-01 to 2027-04-30) and the verification report (2021-11-27 to 2026-11-26), creating ambiguity about the actual crediting window
