Audit Analysis

The Ljárskógar forest carbon project in Iceland is registered under the Icelandic Forest Carbon Code with iCert as VVB, but the available record consists solely of a project design document with no verification or monitoring reports. Critical elements including additionality testing, baseline methodology, buffer pool, and leakage treatment are entirely absent from the extracted data, making it impossible to validate the 33,605-tonne lifetime sequestration claim.

Red Flags

  • No additionality test type or VVB confirmation of additionality found in any available document
  • No baseline methodology stated and no baseline reassessment date recorded
  • No buffer pool percentage specified for a sequestration project with inherent reversal risk
  • No leakage deduction or justification documented for a forest carbon project
  • No monitoring report or verified ERR figures available to validate the 33,605-tonne claim
  • Leakage not addressed in project documentation
  • Buffer pool size not disclosed in available documents
