Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard community borehole project under the Improved Kitchen Regimes PoA in Eritrea has a verified combined additionality test, FPIC, and a grievance mechanism, but suffers from a complete absence of reported emission reduction figures, eight cross-document contradictions, no buffer pool, and multiple unresolved forward action requests. The project's integrity is moderate: additionality is well-supported, but permanence and leakage treatment remain under-documented, and the usage-rate discrepancy between the PDD (90%) and an appendix (15%) raises material claim-safety concerns.
Red Flags
- Usage-rate assumption contradicts between the PDD (0.9 / 90%, 2023) and an appendix (15, 2022) — a six-fold discrepancy that undermines confidence in the ex-ante emission factor.
- No total emission reduction figures (claimed or verified) are present in any extracted document, making it impossible to assess over- or under-delivery.
- Six forward action requests remain open, including duplication checks on user lists, grievance evidence, and dry-season field testing, indicating recurring MRV weaknesses.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
