Analysis

A Gold Standard improved cookstove project in Bangladesh with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, absence of a documented buffer pool or permanence mechanism, non-conduct of FPIC, and a substantial list of corrective actions spanning multiple documents. The project delivered its claimed emissions reductions for the monitored period, though the lack of a lifetime ex-ante estimate limits the ability to assess long-term over- or under-delivery.
