Audit Analysis
The OYU Clean Cooking project in Uganda is a VCS-registered cookstove project (VMR0006 v1.2) with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, a 5% quantified leakage deduction, and documented safeguards including FPIC and a grievance mechanism. However, a significant discrepancy between the monitoring report (1,078,877 tCO₂e) and the verification report (133,398 tCO₂e) raises data-reliability concerns, and the project-specific baseline without a stated reassessment date limits confidence in the counterfactual. CORSIA and CCP eligibility are not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
Red Flags
- The monitoring report (Feb 2025) reports a total ERR of 1,078,877 tCO₂e while the verification report (May 2025) reports 133,398 tCO₂e for the same monitoring period — an approximately 8-fold discrepancy that undermines confidence in the verified figure.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving the project's dual-channel crediting risk unassessed.
- Usage rate (assumed and verified) is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm that the 0.89 FNRB and activity-level assumptions are grounded in measured data.
