Ticket Log Fleet Fuel Substitution

Audit Analysis

A VCS fleet fuel substitution project (ethanol for gasoline) in Brazil with a confirmed additionality test and straightforward avoidance logic, but severely undermined by an extensive list of data-quality material findings, a project-specific baseline, and low extraction confidence across the document set. The sheer volume of corrective actions (30+) signals systemic weaknesses in the project's internal data management and monitoring discipline.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over 30 material findings identified across verification reports, including inconsistent fuel consumption values, missing parameters, incorrect calculations, and duplicated data across multiple instances
• ⚠Ex-ante estimates were initially based on total fuel historical consumption rather than ethanol-only consumption, contradicting the applied methodology VM0019
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
• ⚠Baseline is project-specific with no documented reassessment date, and the 2014 verification report described leakage as 'quantified' while the 2021 report describes it as 'deemed negligible'
