Analysis

ACR-182 (CALIFORNIA, US) is an improved forest management project under the Compliance Offset Protocol U.S. Forest Projects (registry status Registered). 10 Offset Verification Statements are in the record (3 as flattened forms whose values cannot be read); the readable ones cover 2012-03-25 – 2019-08-25 and are all Positive by the form's rule (no qualifying statement, which an adverse opinion requires; the opinion box itself is not read). The statement for 2015-08-26 – 2016-08-25 (-24,705 tCO2e) verifies net emissions (total GHG reductions below zero): no offset credits for that reporting period. Under the protocol a negative result after credits were issued is a reversal (the registry records credits for earlier vintages); whether it was compensated is not stated in the documents read. The registry records 171,915 credits issued across 9 vintages.
