Afforestation and restoration of degraded forests in Eastern Paraguay or Forestal Azul Carbon Project

Integrity

The verification record confirms additionality through a combined test and names TÜV SUD South Asia Private Limited as the VVB, which is a meaningful positive signal. The project also reports a 12% buffer pool and no reported reversal events, supporting permanence. However, the record contains contradictions on buffer pool size, leakage treatment, reversal handling, and verified issuance totals, so the integrity score is held back by reliability concerns.

Transparency

The issuance record provides the monitoring period, crediting period, registry status, VVB identity, and both claimed and verified ER totals, which supports basic transparency. At the same time, the usage monitoring method is not stated in available documents, and the extraction confidence is low, suggesting incomplete or hard-to-read source material. The presence of multiple corrective actions also reduces confidence in the completeness of the public record.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is helped by the project type, the negligible leakage treatment with a 0% deduction, and the absence of reported reversals. Still, the verified issuance total differs from the claimed total, and the contradictions on leakage justification and additionality test type create uncertainty about how robust the crediting basis is. Because CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, dual-claim risk cannot be ruled out from the extracted record.

Documentation

The record draws on 17 documents and includes a recent issuance date, which is a positive sign for documentation coverage. However, the evidence list is not specific, the extraction confidence is low, and three corrective actions were required, all of which point to documentation weaknesses. The available record is usable, but not strong enough to inspire high confidence.

Overall

Overall, this is a mid-quality forestry crediting case: it has a registered status, VVB-confirmed additionality, and some permanence safeguards, but the documentation is weakened by low extraction confidence and several contradictions. I privileged the newer issuance record dated 2024-04-17 for buffer pool, leakage, reversal, and verified issuance values because it is the most recent official document, while noting that earlier documents conflict with it. The contradictions materially reduce reliability, so the score is conservative despite the otherwise positive project characteristics.
