Analysis

The Nepal Biogas Support Program CPA 6 is a large-scale biogas project (18,504 digesters) under Gold Standard with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction. However, the absence of a buffer pool, a project-specific baseline, multiple open corrective actions, and low extraction confidence across 55 documents introduce moderate risk. The verified ERR matches the claimed figure and the verified usage rate (93.81%) exceeds the assumed rate (89%), suggesting conservative crediting, but contradictions in ERR scope figures and an unresolved additionality-test-type gap temper confidence.
