Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard cookstove efficiency project in rural India with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, a conservative national-default fNRB, and a 5% quantified leakage deduction. The verified emissions reductions (8,092 tCO2e) exceed the pro-rata lifetime expectation by roughly 62%, indicating a conservative ex-ante estimate. Several reporting inconsistencies (unit errors, assumed-vs-actual usage rates) and the absence of a stated crediting-period end date temper confidence, but no material integrity concerns were identified.
Red Flags
- Crediting period end date is not stated in any available document, making it impossible to confirm the full project lifetime or remaining eligibility window.
- The monitoring report (Dec 2024) reports the fNRB as 50.22 while the verification report (Mar 2024) reports 0.5022 — a unit error that, if uncorrected in the registry, could inflate claimed reductions by a factor of 100.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any document, leaving dual-channel or double-claiming risk unassessed.
