Analysis

The WWF Nepal biogas project is a long-running displacement activity (520 households, 2014–2021 crediting period) with a quantified 5% leakage deduction and an independent VVB, but it is undermined by a large volume of material findings (9 CARs, 1 CR), a direct contradiction on whether additionality was verified, a 20-percentage-point gap between assumed and verified usage rates, and the absence of a buffer pool or double-accounting declaration. The low extraction confidence and numerous documentation-quality issues further erode confidence in the reported figures.
