Carbonity Biochar Production Canada

Audit Analysis
Carbonity's biochar project in Canada has a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a recent verification, but critical permanence and leakage elements are absent from the available record. The project-specific baseline and the lack of a stated buffer pool or leakage treatment create meaningful uncertainty for a carbon-removal credit. Documentation is limited to two sources, and the absence of a claimed ERR figure prevents any over-crediting check.
Red Flags
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is stated in the available documents for a biochar removal project, leaving reversal risk unaddressed
- Leakage is neither quantified nor justified in any available document, despite being a material consideration for biochar feedstock sourcing
- Total ERR claimed is not available, making it impossible to assess whether verified credits are within the ex-ante estimate
- FPIC was not conducted, and the auditor issued a corrective-action recommendation on the grievance mechanism
