Analysis

The SMG Cookstove Program 22 is a VCS-registered cookstove project in India with confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but it carries notable integrity concerns stemming from six corrective action requests, a project-specific baseline with methodology-alignment issues, and a 100% verified usage rate. Multiple contradictions across documents—particularly in ERR figures, leakage percentage, and crediting period dates—reduce confidence in the data trail. The project is functional but sits in a mid-range quality band with room for improvement in baseline rigour and documentation consistency.
