Analysis

A biochar carbon-sequestration project in India with a confirmed additionality test and FPIC, but the verification report surfaces 13 material findings spanning uncalibrated instruments, un-pyrolysed material in samples, undefined batch-rejection criteria, and unresolved corrective actions from a prior audit cycle. The project-specific baseline, 0% leakage deduction, and a 100-vs-1,000-year permanence contradiction between the PDD and verification report further weaken the claim. The project remains in 'Validated' status with significant quality-control gaps that must be closed before credits can be responsibly issued.
