Audit Analysis
The Solar Cookstoves Project in Peru (GS-1207) is a registered Gold Standard avoidance project with a 10-year crediting period, but the extracted record reveals significant gaps in additionality documentation, unaddressed leakage, and contradictory ERR and FNRB figures across monitoring reports. While no material findings or corrective actions were reported, the absence of verified additionality testing, a project-specific baseline, and unresolved data inconsistencies limit confidence in the integrity and safety of the claimed credits.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB verification are entirely absent from the extracted record, despite being a mandatory Gold Standard requirement
- Two monitoring reports report materially different ERR figures (4,634 tCO₂e in the 2019 report vs. 10,223 tCO₂e in the 2017 report) without clear reconciliation
- FNRB value is inconsistent across documents (74.5 in the 2019 monitoring report vs. 87 in a 2017 document), raising questions about the robustness of the emission factor applied
- Leakage is explicitly not addressed in the project documentation, with no deduction or justification provided
- One of the seven source documents is listed as 'unknown', indicating incomplete provenance of the evidence base
