Analysis

OFA-Connect is a biochar project in Zimbabwe at the validation stage under Carbon Standards International, with additionality confirmed by CERES-CERT AG and minor findings resolved. However, the 1,000-year permanence claim lacks independent storage verification, the baseline is project-specific, leakage is dismissed as negligible without quantification, and no monitoring data exists to validate any emissions-removal claims. The registry status is inactive and the project has not yet issued credits.
