Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard biodiesel project in Bali that recycles used cooking oil, with verified emissions reductions matching its claimed figure for the first monitoring period. However, the project delivered only about 34% of its pro-rata lifetime expectation for the elapsed period, the verification process surfaced seven material findings and ten corrective actions, and several key transparency fields (VVB identity, FNRB method, usage monitoring) are absent from the extracted record.
Red Flags
- Verified ERR of 698 t for the 2.4-year monitoring period represents only ~34% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation (~2,036 t), indicating significant under-delivery relative to the ex-ante estimate of 8,423 t over 10 years.
- Ten corrective actions were required by the verification body, including evidence gaps on byproduct glycerol fate, NCVBD monitoring frequency, fuel consumption parameters, and employment quality improvement.
- The verification body's name is not stated in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm VVB independence or accreditation.
