Analysis

The Anew Elk Forestry Project is a Kentucky IFM forest-carbon project with a solid structural design (18% buffer pool, 40% leakage deduction, VVB-verified additionality, no reversal events), but the November 2024 verification report surfaced an extensive list of material findings and corrective actions, including a 60-acre boundary overlap with a CARB IFM project and multiple calculation errors in the HWP and baseline modules. The project over-delivered relative to its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, yet the volume of unresolved data-quality issues and the double-counting risk with adjacent projects materially weaken confidence in the integrity and claim safety of the credits.
