Analysis

This Gold Standard cookstove PoA in Rwanda has VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 29% leakage deduction, but is undermined by 14 material findings, 26 corrective actions, 11 cross-document contradictions, and a verified ERR figure that exceeds the lifetime ex-ante estimate. The absence of a stated buffer pool, a project-specific baseline last reassessed in 2013, and a 90.47% verified usage rate with no assumed baseline create meaningful over-crediting and permanence risks.
