Analysis

The Carroll Avoided Grassland Conversion Project (CAR-1247) is a 50-year grassland conservation project verified by SCS Global Services with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a 2% buffer pool, but it carries notable gaps: leakage is not addressed, the baseline is project-specific with no documented reassessment date, and a significant discrepancy exists between two verification reports on the verified ERR figure (10.307 vs 20,017). The project is functional but lacks the depth of MRV and safeguards documentation expected for a soil-carbon instrument.
