Audit Analysis

Hvanná is a 50-year Icelandic forestry sequestration project with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a 20% buffer pool, but it relies on a project-specific baseline, treats leakage as merely 'deemed negligible' without quantification, and has no monitoring data or verified ERR figures available. The two material findings from validation (missing land-ownership and carbon-calculation documents) were corrected, but the overall evidence base remains thin for a removals credit.

Red Flags

  • No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is available; the 19,694 tCO₂e figure is an ex-ante lifetime estimate only, so actual delivery cannot be assessed.
  • Leakage is described as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified deduction or site-specific justification in the validation report.
  • Reversal events are marked as 'not addressed' in the extracted record, although a risk assessment for fire, storm, and pests is referenced in the management plan.
  • Baseline is project-specific with no reassessment date stated; for a 50-year crediting period this is a long-term validity concern.
