Analysis

The Lassen project is a California ARB compliance forestry project with a 17.59% buffer pool, 20% quantified leakage deduction, and no reported reversals, but it carries significant integrity concerns: additionality was not verified by the VVB and no additionality test type is stated in the available documents. Ten non-conformances were identified during verification (all resolved), including misleading information in the inventory manual and non-compliant plot handling, and no safeguards, FPIC, or grievance mechanism are documented. A ~21% discrepancy in verified emission reduction figures between the monitoring report and the final verification report raises data-reliability questions.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
