Audit Analysis

Arnaldsstaðir is a modest Icelandic forestry sequestration project (18,910 tCO₂ lifetime) validated by iCert ehf. with a VVB-confirmed additionality test and no material findings. However, the absence of a stated buffer pool for a 50-year sequestration claim, a project-specific baseline, and the lack of any monitoring or verified ERR data leave meaningful gaps in permanence assurance and claim verification.

Red Flags

  • No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document for a 50-year sequestration project, leaving permanence risk unquantified
  • Leakage is deemed negligible with no quantified deduction or site-specific justification beyond the label
  • No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available; the project's actual performance is unverified
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unaddressed
  • Buffer pool size not disclosed in available documents
