Audit Analysis
The Henan Nanzhao Solar Cooker Project has a solid additionality foundation (VVB-verified investment test under AMS-I.C.) and a reasonable leakage treatment, but suffers from a critical 10× discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and validation report, a complete absence of verified monitoring data across its 10-year period, and a project-specific baseline with no documented permanence risk mitigation. The low extraction confidence on source documents further limits confidence in the available evidence.
Red Flags
- Total ERR differs by a factor of 10 between the PDD (939,620 tCO₂e) and the validation report (93,962 tCO₂e), raising serious data-reliability questions
- No verified ERR figures found for the entire 2012–2021 monitoring period despite a 10-year crediting window
- No buffer pool, permanence mechanism, or reversal-risk mitigation documented for a project whose credits depend on continued cooker use
- Low extraction confidence on at least one key source document, limiting the reliability of the extracted record
