Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard improved-kitchen project in Rwanda with VVB-confirmed additionality and a recently reassessed (2024) project-specific baseline. The project shows no reversal events and conservative usage-rate assumptions, but the absence of a stated buffer pool, a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible,' and multiple cross-document contradictions in FNRB, ERR, and crediting-period data temper confidence in the overall data integrity.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification, while an earlier (2019) monitoring report described leakage as 'quantified' — the shift is unexplained
- Nine cross-document contradictions were identified, including conflicting FNRB values (0.98 vs 0.85), conflicting FNRB methods (national default vs local field), and conflicting crediting periods (2014–2024 vs 2025–2030)
- CORSIA eligibility is not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
