Analysis

The Alsea River Forest Carbon Project is a US-based improved forest management project under ACR with a verified additionality test, a 16% buffer pool, and a strong 30% quantified leakage deduction. However, significant data contradictions between the PDD and validation/monitoring reports—particularly a tenfold discrepancy in the buffer pool percentage and a 19% gap in claimed ERR—combined with material findings that include ERR calculation errors, raise meaningful concerns about the reliability of the verified figures. The project delivered roughly 800% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation in just 22 months, a ratio that, while not impossible for a forest project in its early years, warrants scrutiny given the documented calculation corrections.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    In scope, not yet eligible

    The registry flags units as in scope for CORSIA; eligibility still needs host-country authorization.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks these credits with the Core Carbon Principles label of the Integrity Council.

    Source: registry label

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: registry label

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.
