Analysis

This VCS ALM soil-carbon project in Argentina passed validation with Intertek but carries 16 material findings and 12 required corrective actions, including insufficient additionality demonstration, incomplete baseline determination, and a reported reversal event in the most recent appendix. The 0% leakage deduction for a soil-carbon project is weakly justified, and the project-specific baseline with no recorded reassessment adds further uncertainty. Multiple contradictions across documents (ERR figures, buffer pool percentage, reversal events, crediting period) and low extraction confidence significantly undermine confidence in the data.
