Analysis

The Santa Catarina composting project has a VVB-verified additionality assessment and no reported reversals, but suffers from significant gaps in safeguards documentation (no FPIC, no grievance mechanism, safeguards not mentioned per the most recent verification report), an unaddressed leakage justification, and multiple material findings with required corrective actions. The ERR figures for the 2019–2020 monitoring period match exactly between claimed and verified values, but the project-specific modeled baseline and absence of a stated buffer pool introduce moderate over-crediting risk.
