GS1340 Efficient cookstoves in Burkina Faso - VPA-15 - Improved Cookstove F3PA project in Nahouri
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB, and the verification report reports no material findings or required corrective actions.
missing The baseline is project-specific, reversal handling is not addressed, and no buffer pool share is stated in the available documents.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period is clearly stated for 2022, and the verification report identifies SustainCERT as the VVB.
missing Key registry and MRV fields are incomplete in the extracted record, including claimed versus verified emission reductions and public eligibility status details.
Claim Safety
verified Leakage is at least quantified, with a leakage deduction of 0.95% and a stated justification.
missing The project is marked CORSIA-eligible, while CCP status is only not mentioned, and several contradictory values raise over-crediting risk.
Documentation
verified The record draws on multiple document types, including validation, PDD, monitoring, and verification materials, with medium extraction confidence.
missing Some key evidence is missing or not stated, and the contradictory crediting-period and parameter values reduce confidence in the documentation set.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report from June 2024 confirms additionality through VVB review, and it reports no material findings or corrective actions. On the weaker side, the baseline is project-specific rather than standardized, reversal events are not addressed, and no buffer pool percentage is stated, which limits permanence confidence.
Transparency
The monitoring period for 2022 is clearly identified, and SustainCERT is named as the verifier. But the extracted record does not provide claimed versus verified emission reduction totals, and several registry-relevant details are incomplete or only partially stated, reducing overall transparency.
Claim Safety
Leakage is not ignored: the record shows a quantified leakage deduction of 0.95% with a stated justification. Still, the project is marked CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not mentioned, and the contradictions around usage rate, non-renewable biomass fraction, and leakage deduction increase the risk that the credited volume could be overstated.
Documentation
The evidence set includes validation, PDD, monitoring, and verification documents, and the extraction confidence is medium rather than low. Even so, several important fields are missing or only partially specified, and the contradictory crediting-period and parameter values suggest the documentation package is not fully consistent.
Overall
I privileged the June 2024 verification report for VVB findings and the most recent stated values, while treating older PDD values as lower priority when conflicts appeared. The contradictions are material: usage rate differs between documents, the non-renewable biomass fraction conflicts with another source, leakage deduction differs materially, and the crediting period is inconsistent; these issues reduce reliability and justify a downward adjustment. The project still shows some positive quality signals, but the combination of project-specific baseline, incomplete permanence treatment, and inconsistent parameter reporting keeps the overall score in the mid range.
Audit Analysis
The project has some strong safeguards on paper, including VVB-confirmed additionality, a quantified leakage deduction, and no material findings in the verification report. However, reliability is weakened by several contradictions across documents, missing details on reversal handling and buffer coverage, and the use of a project baseline rather than a more robust standardized baseline.
Project Description

Red Flags
- The record contains multiple contradictions, including different values for usage rate, non-renewable biomass fraction, leakage deduction, and crediting period.
- Reversal risk is not addressed in the extracted record and no buffer pool percentage is stated.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Publish a reconciled parameter table that resolves the contradictions in usage rate, non-renewable biomass fraction, leakage deduction, and crediting period.
- Document permanence and claim-safety controls more fully, including reversal treatment, buffer pool coverage, and clear public registry status for CCP and CORSIA eligibility.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
