Analysis

The Kuyasa household energy-efficiency project in Khayelitsha is a CDM-registered project using AMS methodologies (Version 5) with TÜV Nord as VVB, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported. However, the extracted record lacks critical details on additionality confirmation, baseline specification, verified emission reductions, and usage monitoring, leaving significant evidence gaps. The 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for a household lighting/heating upgrade, but the absence of a verified ERR figure and FNRB data limits confidence in the claimed 9,134.75 tCO₂e.
