Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard biogas project (2009–2019) in India with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a project-specific firewood baseline. The absence of any monitoring or verification reports, an unidentified source document, and a ten-fold discrepancy in claimed ERR figures between the PDD and validation report significantly limit confidence in the project's actual performance and data reliability.
Red Flags
- Ten-fold discrepancy in claimed ERR: the PDD (Sept 2011) states 241,700 tCO₂e while the validation report (June 2011) states 24,170 tCO₂e — a 10× difference that undermines data reliability
- No monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record; total ERR verified is not stated, making it impossible to confirm whether claimed credits were actually delivered
- Reversal events are explicitly 'not addressed' and no buffer pool percentage is stated, leaving permanence risk unquantified
- One of the three source documents is unidentified ('unknown'), reducing confidence in the evidentiary base
