Audit Analysis

This Gold Standard irrigation device project (2013 PDD) presents a combined additionality test and renewable energy basis, but the available record is limited to a single project design document with no verification or monitoring reports. Key integrity elements such as VVB confirmation, buffer pool, and baseline reassessment are absent from the extracted data, and the 100% assumed usage rate with no end-use tracking raises over-crediting concerns that cannot be resolved with the current evidence.

Red Flags

  • No verification report or monitoring report found in the extracted record; only a 2013 PDD is available, making it impossible to confirm that the project was actually verified or that credits were issued against verified emissions reductions.
  • 100% usage rate assumed with no end-use tracking and no verified usage rate, creating a significant risk that claimed reductions (12,904 tCO2e) are overstated.
  • No buffer pool percentage or reversal event data found, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a project involving physical devices that can be discarded or repurposed.
