Audit Analysis

A VCS cookstove project in Liberia with a confirmed combined additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but significant gaps remain: no monitoring data has been reported, the baseline is project-specific rather than jurisdictional, and the assumed 75% usage rate has not been independently verified. The project is in its early crediting period (2023–2030) with no verified emission reductions yet available for comparison against the claimed lifetime total of approximately 11.4 million tCO₂e.

Red Flags

  • No monitoring report or verified emission reduction figures available despite the project being registered since mid-2023; the claimed lifetime total of 11,392,289 tCO₂e remains entirely unverified
  • 28 material findings were raised during validation (covering SDG justification, stakeholder engagement, ILO compliance, baseline assumptions, and formatting), indicating a weak initial project design that required extensive remediation before approval
  • FPIC status is contradictory between the PDD (not conducted) and the validation report (conducted), creating uncertainty about the robustness of free, prior, and informed consent
  • Usage rate of 75% is assumed but has not been verified through monitoring; no annual survey results are available in the extracted record
