Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard water and cookstove project in Rwanda has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and no reported reversal events, but suffers from significant data gaps and contradictions. The ERR figures are internally inconsistent (62,570 vs 147,220 tCO₂e), the verified ERR is not stated, and the extraction confidence is low, limiting confidence in the overall credit quality. The project-specific baseline and 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justifications warrant caution.
Red Flags
- ERR claimed figures contradict each other within the same monitoring report year (62,570 vs 147,220 tCO₂e), raising data reliability concerns
- Verified ERR is not stated in any available document, preventing independent verification of claimed reductions
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the 2023 monitoring report states 'quantified' while the 2018 PDD states 'deemed negligible', yet the deduction is 0% in both cases
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or the extraction process was unreliable
