Analysis

The Bondhu Chula cookstove project in Bangladesh has VVB-verified additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but suffers from a project-specific baseline, no buffer pool, unaddressed reversal risk, and an unverified 99% usage rate assumption that creates meaningful over-crediting exposure. Data quality issues in the monitoring period (name inconsistencies, identical ICS counts across consecutive periods) and five corrective action requests further erode confidence in the reported emission reductions.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology rejected for some versionsGS The Gold Standard Simplified Methodology

    The Integrity Council rejected some versions of this protocol; other versions are still under assessment: check which version the project uses.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
