Audit Analysis
A VCS cookstove project in India with a solid additionality assessment (combined test, VVB-verified) and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but with notable gaps in permanence safeguards (no buffer pool stated) and incomplete usage-rate data. The project delivered roughly 63% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the first nine months, indicating conservative crediting. Three cross-document contradictions were identified and resolved in favour of the more recent validation report.
Red Flags
- Usage rate (both assumed and verified) is not stated in any document, making it impossible to independently verify the activity-level assumptions underpinning the 61,146 tCO₂e figure
- Baseline method is project-specific rather than jurisdictional, and the last baseline reassessment date is not recorded in the extracted record
