Buriram Rubber Plantation Carbon Sequestration & GHG Emission Reduction Project

Audit Analysis

The project shows some integrity strengths, including VVB-confirmed additionality via a barrier test and documented safeguards elements (FPIC and a grievance mechanism). However, key quantifications needed to judge crediting conservativeness—especially verified ERs, leakage deduction percentage, and permanence risk management (buffer/reversal treatment)—were not found in the extracted record, increasing over-crediting and claims risk.

Project Description

The Buriram Rubber Plantation Carbon Sequestration Project supports 131 smallholder plantations in Buriram Province, Thailand, covering nearly 2,000 rai (≈309 hectares). By eliminating burning, reducing chemical inputs, and introducing agroforestry, the project improves soil health, biodiversity, and farmer livelihoods. Digital monitoring via blockchain and satellite imagery ensures transparency, while carbon revenues are shared with farmers. It mitigates about 8,579 tCO₂e per year, totaling over 60,000 tCO₂e across its 7-year crediting period.

Red Flags

• ⚠ Verified emission reductions were not found in the extracted record, despite a claimed total of 60,052.86 tCO2e.
• ⚠ Leakage is described as quantified, but the actual leakage deduction percentage was not found in the extracted record.
• ⚠ Permanence risk management is unclear: no buffer pool percentage and no reversal-event reporting were found in the extracted record for a sequestration-focused project.
