Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB using an investment test, which is a meaningful positive signal.

missing Reversal treatment is not clearly addressed in the extracted record, and the project is a REDD project where permanence matters.

Transparency

verified The monitoring period and crediting period are stated, and the VVB is identified as Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd.

missing Key MRV details such as the usage monitoring method, leakage deduction percentage, and baseline reassessment timing are not stated in available documents.

Claim Safety

verified The project is marked not CORSIA-eligible, which reduces one channel of claim overlap risk.

missing The registry status is on hold, and the extracted record does not provide a clear claim-quantity reconciliation because claimed ERRs are not stated.

Documentation

verified A relatively large number of documents were used, and the record includes an issuance document dated 2025-12-08.

missing Extraction confidence is low, and several important fields are missing or only partially specified in the available documents.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The project has some solid integrity features: the verification report/issuance record identifies additionality as confirmed through an investment test, and the record shows a quantified leakage treatment plus a 10% buffer pool. At the same time, reversal risk is not clearly addressed in the extracted record, which is a material weakness for a REDD project. The baseline is project-specific rather than jurisdictional, and the last reassessment date is not found in the available documents.

Transparency

Transparency is mixed. The record identifies the VVB, monitoring period, and crediting period, but key MRV details such as the usage monitoring method, leakage deduction percentage, and baseline reassessment timing are not stated in available documents. The low extraction confidence also suggests at least one key source was difficult to read, which lowers trust in the completeness of the documentation.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is weakened by the registry being on hold, which is an important external risk signal. The project is marked not CORSIA-eligible, which helps reduce dual-channel claim risk, but the extracted record does not provide a clear reconciliation between claimed and verified emission reductions because the claimed total is not stated. The absence of a clear leakage deduction and the project-specific baseline also leave some over-crediting uncertainty.

Documentation

Documentation quality is limited by low extraction confidence and several missing fields, including baseline reassessment timing, usage monitoring method, and leakage deduction percentage. The record does show a substantial document set and a recent issuance date, which helps, but the contradictions across documents reduce reliability. In particular, later documents appear to support 10% buffer pool, FPIC, safeguards, benefit sharing, and a grievance mechanism, while earlier documents reported the opposite or were silent; I privileged the later-dated entries because they are more recent, but the contradictions still warrant a downward adjustment.

Overall

Overall confidence is moderate to low. I privileged the later-dated values in the contradiction set, so I used the 10% buffer pool, FPIC conducted, safeguards mentioned, benefit sharing described, grievance mechanism present, and reversal risk not clearly addressed from the more recent documents rather than the older conflicting entries. Even so, the contradictions indicate reliability issues, the registry status is on hold, and the low extraction confidence plus missing MRV details keep the score restrained.

Audit Analysis

The project has some positive integrity signals, including VVB-verified additionality, a quantified leakage treatment, and a 10% buffer pool. However, the registry status is on hold, reversal treatment is not clearly addressed, and several key monitoring details are missing or inconsistent, which weakens confidence in the claimed credits.

Project Description

The Ecomapuá Amazon REDD Project is located on Marajó Island in Brazil's Eastern Amazon region, and aims to prevent unplanned deforestation of a valuable ecosystem. Predicted net reductions of 4,253.14ha of deforestation and 2,170,138 tCO2e emissions over the 30-year project lifetime make this project a significant contribution to conservation goals and improving social and environmental conditions for local communities. The project also encourages further conservation efforts in this critical region.

Red Flags

  • Registry status is on hold, which raises immediate claim and issuance risk.
  • Reversal risk is not clearly addressed in the extracted record, despite the project being a REDD activity.
  • Contradictions exist on buffer pool size, FPIC, safeguards, benefit sharing, grievance mechanism, and reversal treatment across documents.
  • Low extraction confidence and missing monitoring details reduce trust in the documentation.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

  • Publish a clear, reconciled monitoring package showing claimed versus verified ERs, leakage deduction, and baseline reassessment history.
  • Resolve document contradictions and provide explicit, dated evidence for permanence treatment, FPIC, safeguards, and grievance procedures.

Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
