Carbono Inmunizar

Audit Analysis

Carbono Inmunizar is a 235-hectare forestation project in Antioquia, Colombia, verified by ICONTEC under the CerCarbono standard. Additionality is confirmed via a combined test and a 15% buffer pool protects permanence, but the project-specific baseline, absence of documented FPIC and grievance mechanisms, and a pending corrective action on property records temper the integrity picture. Multiple contradictions in ERR figures across the PDD, validation report, and issuance documents introduce data-reliability concerns that warrant caution.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Lifetime ex-ante ERR is reported as 70,179 tCO₂e in the validation report but 23,366 tCO₂e in the PDD — a three-fold discrepancy that undermines confidence in the ex-ante estimate
• ⚠No Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) documentation or grievance mechanism is found in any available document, despite the project involving community land in Abejorral and Guarne
• ⚠One non-conformity remains pending: ICA (Chamber of Commerce) property records do not cover all parcels linked to the project, limiting full traceability
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with only a brief 'deemed negligible' justification; no quantitative displacement analysis is provided in the extracted record
