Audit Analysis
Brodie Biomass is a first-year UK biochar project under Puro with a verified investment-test additionality and a named VVB, but the initial verification surfaced five material findings—including a 14.7-tonne overcalculation, 12.22 tonnes of PAH-exceeding ineligible biochar, and a website double-claiming risk—each requiring corrective action. The absence of a stated buffer pool and a project-specific baseline leave meaningful permanence and baseline-robustness gaps for a carbon-removal credit.
Red Flags
- Five material findings in the first verification report, including a 14.7 CORC overcalculation and 12.22 tonnes of biochar exceeding EBC PAH thresholds, indicating weak initial MRV controls.
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in the extracted record, leaving permanence risk for a biochar project unquantified.
- The project operator's website previously carried a misleading carbon-removal disclaimer that risked double counting; corrected only after the VVB flagged it.
- Leakage is deemed negligible with no quantified deduction or detailed justification beyond a single label.
