Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard cookstove project in Myanmar with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but significant concerns around permanence (no buffer pool, reversal risk unaddressed) and a large gap between the assumed 100% usage rate and the verified 57%, resulting in roughly half the pro-rata ex-ante expectation being delivered. CORSIA eligibility alongside Gold Standard registration introduces dual-channel risk.

Red Flags

  • Usage rate assumed at 100% in the ex-ante estimate but verified at only 57% in the monitoring report, indicating the lifetime ERR of 69,056 is likely substantially overstated
  • No buffer pool percentage stated and reversal events explicitly 'not addressed' in the verification report, leaving permanence risk unmitigated for a cookstove project where stoves can be lost, broken, or replaced
  • CORSIA eligibility confirmed while the project is also registered in the Gold Standard registry, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
  • Crediting period end date is missing (null) in the 2018 verification report, creating uncertainty about the project's temporal scope
