Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard improved-cookstove project in Eritrea with VVB-confirmed additionality and conservative emission estimates (below ex-ante), but weakened by an unjustified 0% leakage deduction, a missing buffer pool, several unresolved contradictions across documents, and outstanding corrective actions. The project is functional and monitored, yet the documentation gaps and data inconsistencies limit confidence in the full credit claim.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction is 0% in the 2024 monitoring report with no stated justification, while the PDD originally specified a 5% deduction — the reduction is unexplained
  • Total verified ERR is not stated in the extracted record; only the claimed figure of 32,238 tCO₂e is available, preventing independent verification of the credit volume
  • Multiple corrective actions remain open for the next verification cycle, including borehole functionality confirmation and user-list duplication checks
  • FNRB value and method contradict between the PDD (0.85, local field) and the verification report (0.97, national default), a 14% swing in the net fuel reduction basis
