KARBOTECH one
Audit Analysis
Karbotech One is a biochar carbon removal project at the design stage, with a reasonable permanence claim and an investment-based additionality test, but significant verification gaps: no VVB confirmation, no buffer pool, no independent storage verification, and only two supporting documents (PDD and stakeholder consultation). The project's core science is sound, but the evidentiary record is too thin to confirm robustness.
Red Flags
- No verification body identified and no verification report in the available record; additionality test (investment) is unconfirmed by an independent party
- No buffer pool or permanence risk mitigation mechanism documented despite the project being a carbon removal credit
- Storage independently verified status is not stated in any available document
- Only two documents (PDD and stakeholder consultation) are available; no monitoring report, verification report, or VVB audit exists in the record
