Analysis

Moonstone Biogas LLC is a California ARB compliance offset project under the 2014 Livestock Projects protocol, but the extracted record is extremely sparse: nearly all quality-relevant fields (additionality test, baseline method, leakage treatment, ERR figures, monitoring method) are absent from the two available documents. No material findings or corrective actions were reported, and the project is not legally mandated, which is a modest positive signal, but the overall evidentiary base is too thin to confirm robust additionality, baseline validity, or leakage treatment.
