Audit Analysis
Hjelmsäters Egendom is a Swedish biomass carbon-removal project verified by DNV under Puro General Rules v3.1, with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no material findings. However, the project carries notable gaps: no leakage treatment is documented, the permanence claim is contradictory across documents (100 vs 1,000 years), and the buffer pool is a modest 2.5%. CCP eligibility and the presence of an LCA provide some additional assurance, but the overall evidence base is incomplete for a removal credit.
Red Flags
- Permanence claim contradicts across documents: the verification report (2023) states 100 years while the issuance document (2021) states 1,000 years — a 10× discrepancy for a biomass removal credit
- No leakage deduction or leakage justification is stated anywhere in the extracted record, despite biomass projects typically carrying meaningful leakage risk
- No reversal-event data or storage-independence verification is documented, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a removal credit
- Project-specific baseline with no recorded reassessment date, limiting confidence in baseline validity over time
