Analysis

This VCS cookstove project in Kutch, Gujarat, has a verified additionality test and quantified 5% leakage deduction, but the verification report identified seven material findings and required seven corrective actions, including an incorrect justification for the difference between ex-ante and achieved ERRs. The ERR figure was revised upward by 38% between the monitoring report and verification report, and the usage rate jumped from 0.89 to 1.0, raising over-crediting concerns. No buffer pool percentage is stated in the available documents, leaving permanence risk unaddressed.
