Analysis

This VCS soil carbon project in Kenya (285 ha, 20 plots) has a VVB-verified barrier additionality test and a 12% buffer pool, but suffers from a 0% leakage deduction with no stated justification, a project-specific baseline, and an extraordinarily high per-hectare removal rate (~310 tCO2e/ha/yr) that raises serious over-crediting concerns. The absence of a verified ERR figure, low extraction confidence, and six inter-document contradictions further weaken confidence in the project's data integrity.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Not stated as eligible

    The project documents do not claim CORSIA eligibility.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry) · documents analysed on 1 Sep 2026

    Covers: what the project documents state — not a registry record

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology approved by ICVCMVM0042

    The methodology meets the Core Carbon Principles; this project's credits do not carry the CCP label yet.

    Source: ICVCM assessment · ICVCM table read on 4 Oct 2026

    Covers: the methodology (every project using it), not this project's credits

  • Removal or reduction

    Not determined

    The registry data do not say whether these credits are removals or reductions.

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not checked yet

    This registry publishes Article 6 authorizations, but CarbonMeld has not read this project's credit records yet: we cannot say whether any credits are authorized. Check on the registry.

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
