Ekovilla 2 Kuusankoski
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The verification report (2022-05-24) reports no material findings and no corrective actions required.
missing Additionality, baseline approach, leakage treatment, and reversal history are not stated in the extracted record.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period is clearly specified as 2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31 in the verification report (2022-05-24).
missing Total emissions reductions claimed/verified and key MRV parameters (e.g., usage monitoring method) are not found in the extracted record.
Claim Safety
verified A buffer pool contribution of 10% is reported in the extracted record, which can reduce non-delivery risk if reversals occur.
missing Over-crediting risk cannot be evaluated because baseline, leakage, and quantified verified reductions are not stated in available documents.
Documentation
verified A specific VVB is identified (DNV Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab) and the document is dated 2022-05-24.
missing Evidence document labeling is weak (listed as "unknown"), only two documents were used, and extraction confidence is only medium.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report (2022-05-24) indicates no material findings and no corrective actions required, which supports procedural integrity. However, the extracted record does not state the additionality test used, whether additionality was confirmed by the VVB, the baseline method, or any leakage deduction/justification. A 10% buffer is reported, but reversal events (or confirmation of none) are not stated, limiting confidence in permanence-related controls.
Transparency
The verification report (2022-05-24) clearly defines the monitoring period as 2021-01-01 to 2021-12-31 and identifies the VVB. But the extracted record does not include total emissions reductions claimed or verified, nor the monitoring/usage measurement approach, which reduces the ability for third parties to reproduce or scrutinize results. Registry completeness is also limited because key eligibility/status fields are not stated.
Claim Safety
Claims risk is elevated because the extracted record lacks the quantified verified emissions reductions and does not state the baseline and leakage approach, both central to over-crediting risk. The 10% buffer provides some risk mitigation in principle, but without reversal reporting and without clarity on what risks the buffer is meant to cover, it is hard to rely on. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, leaving uncertainty about how credits might be marketed and whether buyers could misinterpret eligibility.
Documentation
Documentation is partial: there is a dated verification report (2022-05-24) and a named VVB (DNV Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab), but the evidence document list is recorded as "unknown" and only two documents were used in extraction. Several core fields (methodology, baseline, additionality, leakage, quantified ERs) are not found in the extracted record. Medium extraction confidence suggests some risk that key details were missed or not readable, warranting a conservative score.
Overall
No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so there is no need to privilege one document value over another. The main limitation is evidence gaps across additionality, baseline setting, leakage treatment, and quantified verified reductions, which collectively reduce confidence in credit integrity and increase greenwashing/over-crediting risk. Note: if documentation were to score below 3.0, transparency would be capped post-scoring; and if integrity were below 4.0, the overall score would be capped at 6.0 post-scoring.
Audit Analysis
The project has a named third-party verifier and reports no material findings for the 2021 monitoring period, but key integrity elements (additionality, baseline, leakage) are not evidenced in the extracted record. A 10% buffer is noted, yet permanence/reversal and leakage treatment are not documented, increasing over-crediting and claims risk.
Project Description
Ekovilla offers carbon net-negative cellulose fibre insulation (CFI) made from renewable natural resources. One tonne of Ekovilla’s CFI removes 1,11 tonnes of CO2 eq. from the atmosphere into long-term storage in the product. The insulation is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects and it is used in 10,000 buildings annually. Once installed, CO2 is stored in durable building structures for a minimum of 50 years. It is industrial carbon removal to help corporations achieve their climate targets and take proactive steps towards carbon net zero. How it works Growing trees capture carbon which is then stored in bio-based construction materials. Sustainably grown wood is used for producing newspapers, which are recycled and used as the main ingredient for manufacturing Ekovilla's cellulose fibre insulation (CFI). Once CFI is installed, CO2 is locked and stored in buildings for decades.
Red Flags
- Additionality approach and whether the VVB confirmed it are not stated in the extracted record.
- Baseline method and any baseline reassessment timing are not stated in available documents.
- Leakage deduction and justification are not stated, despite being important for robust crediting.
- CORSIA and CCP status are not stated, leaving double-claim/eligibility risk unclear.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Publish or provide the underlying methodology/baseline documentation and explicitly state the additionality test and the VVB’s conclusion on additionality.
- Disclose quantified emissions reductions (claimed and verified) for the 2021 period, including monitoring/usage measurement methods and any leakage assessment with justification and deductions.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
