Audit Analysis

This Gold Standard improved cookstove project in Rwanda demonstrates solid additionality (combined test, VVB-verified) and no reversal events, but suffers from multiple parameter contradictions across documents (leakage, FNRB, usage rate, monitoring method) that reduce confidence in the exact credit quantity. The verified ERR substantially exceeds the claimed figure, suggesting over-delivery rather than over-crediting, though the absence of a buffer pool for reversion risk in an energy-efficiency project is a notable gap.

Red Flags

  • Nine contradictions across documents on key parameters (leakage, FNRB, usage rate, monitoring method, crediting period, benefit sharing) indicate inconsistent record-keeping
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
  • Crediting period contradiction: the 2020 monitoring report references 2014–2021 while the 2025 validation report establishes 2025–2030, with the 2023–2024 monitoring period falling outside both stated windows
