Analysis

This Gold Standard microfinance project for clean cookstoves and water filters in India has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and no reported reversal events, but is undermined by significant contradictions across documents—particularly a 3.5× discrepancy in the assumed usage rate and a conflict between a 0% and a 5% leakage deduction. The exact match between claimed and verified ERR figures, combined with an assumed (not measured) usage rate and a project-specific baseline, raises meaningful over-crediting risk.
