Analysis

A large-scale Nepal biogas program (18,392 digesters) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by an extensive list of material findings and corrective actions spanning formula errors, missing spreadsheets, and QA/QC gaps. Multiple contradictions between the 2025 and 2026 verification reports (ERR figures, FNRB units, method) raise data-reliability concerns. The absence of a stated buffer pool, reversal-event history, and CORSIA/CCP status leaves key permanence and double-claiming questions open.
