Installation of high efficiency cookstoves in India by AGS Carbon – Project 2

Audit Analysis

A VCS cookstove project validated by Earthood Services with a confirmed combined additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but the available record contains only validation-stage documentation with 18 material findings and 11 corrective actions, and no monitoring or verification data to confirm actual performance. The project-specific baseline and absence of a stated buffer pool introduce moderate uncertainty, while the numerous documentation inconsistencies (terminology, parameter definitions, fNRB sourcing) reduce confidence in the robustness of the ex-ante estimate.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠18 material findings and 11 corrective actions identified in the validation report, including insufficient baseline survey details, unclear fNRB calculation, and inconsistent parameter definitions
• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports available — the project's actual performance against the 2,091,777 tCO₂e ex-ante estimate is entirely unverified
• ⚠Project-specific baseline with no recorded reassessment date, limiting confidence in baseline validity over the 7-year crediting period
