Truecoco Ghana Ltd

Audit Analysis

Truecoco Ghana's biochar project has VVB-confirmed additionality and a named verification body, but suffers from significant gaps in baseline methodology, leakage treatment, and permanence documentation. Thirteen material findings and four corrective actions in the verification report, combined with a 65% discrepancy between two verification reports on the same ERR figure, raise meaningful data-reliability concerns. The project is in an early stage with a very short monitoring window and limited public documentation.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Contradiction in verified ERR between two verification reports: 941.98 tCO2e (Dec 2025) vs 1547.92 tCO2e (Jan 2026) — a 65% increase unexplained in the extracted record
• ⚠Thirteen material findings including feedstock sourcing inconsistencies, missing waybills, a 10.15 MT biochar stock discrepancy, and use of outdated moisture data in the LCA model
• ⚠Leakage treatment entirely absent from the extracted record — no deduction percentage, no justification, no methodology reference
• ⚠Baseline method and last reassessment date not stated in any available document
• ⚠Four corrective actions still required at the time of the final verification report
