Analysis

This Gold Standard safe-water programme in Mozambique displaces decentralised thermal energy use and has confirmed additionality, FPIC, and no reversal events. However, the verification record is undermined by over 40 material findings, a 30,370 tCO2e over-issuance in MP1, a 47% discrepancy between two verification reports on verified ERR, and a 0% leakage deduction that contradicts a 5% figure in the validation report. The project's energy-efficiency nature limits permanence risk, but the volume of calculation errors and documentation inconsistencies raises serious concerns about the reliability of the claimed credits.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
