How methodology v3 reads projects of this standard

On 12 November 2026, no page of this programme had a number. Where a validation or verification report was read, additionality, quantification or both have no public grade of the type of project that applies: the page says «No public grade applies yet».

What CarbonMeld reads

  • A confirmed investment analysis A-INVEST

    The documents show a project-level additionality test, the validation confirmed it, and it is an investment analysis (a numeric test of the project's finances with and without carbon revenue).

  • Leakage not addressed (forest and land) Q-LEAKAGE-NOT-ADDRESSED

    Forest, wetland, peat, grassland and soil carbon: the documents read do not address leakage. Outside REDD+ and reforestation, the rule applies only where the methodology requires a leakage assessment. At the listing stage, the rule does not apply if the programme's listing form has no section on leakage. CarbonMeld applies this rule only where a check of the documents has confirmed its condition; without that check, the rule takes no points.

  • Where carbon is stored: the permanence start P-START

    CarbonMeld scores permanence only for projects that store carbon. Forest projects start from CCQI's grade of the programme on criterion 3.2. CCQI grades this criterion by programme, so its grade applies to every methodology of the programme. Where CCQI does not grade the programme, permanence starts at the neutral 5.0: the CDM's grade does not stand in for another programme's approach to permanence. Direct air capture with storage, biogenic emissions capture with storage, other geological storage and biochar start at the top, 8.0. The EU classes these types as permanent carbon removals. Enhanced weathering also starts at 8.0. It shares a family with direct air capture. This start is our own judgement. Concrete carbonation, ocean alkalinity, buried biomass and long-lived materials start at the neutral 5.0. These types have no class in a public source.

Figures set against the standard's own values

  • Integrity comparison

    The buffer share is 20% (from Woodland Carbon Code v2.0; Woodland Carbon Code v2.2, §2.3, p. 13). CarbonMeld compares the share only when the documents name version 2.0 or later. CarbonMeld shows the share in the documents next to it. CM-F-WOODLAND-CARBON-CODE-BUFFER-SHARE

Deductions that can apply

  • The registry status O-REGISTRY-STATUS

    The registry lists the project as rejected, withdrawn, not delivered, suspended or On Hold (Verra's word, counted as suspended), or with its issuance denied. Any other registry status changes no number. The page shows it.

    Rejected.

Not applicable to this type — never a gap in our current method
