Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard cookstove efficiency project in Nepal with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by a significant ERR discrepancy between the PDD and validation report, an unresolved FPIC contradiction, absence of any buffer pool or monitoring data, and low document extraction confidence. The project is at an early stage with no verified monitoring results yet available.
Red Flags
- ERR figure in the PDD (9,466 tCO2e) is roughly one-fifth of the validation report figure (47,333 tCO2e), creating material uncertainty about the true ex-ante estimate
- FPIC status is contradictory: the 2023 validation report states it was conducted, while the 2024 validation report states it was not
- Usage rate is assumed at 100% with no verified field data to support this assumption
- Low extraction confidence across the document set limits reliability of the extracted record
