Analysis

The Core Carbon is a VCS cookstove project in Sundargarh, Orissa, with a verified additionality test and no reversal events, but it is severely undermined by an extensive list of material findings including calculation errors, sampling below the methodology minimum, a proponent history of ten previously rejected projects, and public comments that the VVB failed to assess. The near-identical claimed and verified ERR figures (310,958 vs 310,762) suggest minimal independent verification margin, and five cross-document contradictions further erode confidence in the data.
