Analysis

The Ohio Hemp Company project under the proprietary Hemp Carbon Standard exhibits critical gaps across nearly every integrity dimension: no additionality test, no documented baseline method, no buffer pool or permanence mechanism, and no leakage treatment are found in the extracted record. A four-fold discrepancy in claimed emission reduction figures (317 vs 80) between the issuance document and an unidentified source, combined with atypical NEE patterns of unclear cause and a methodology version mismatch, raises serious over-crediting and greenwashing concerns. The project is not fit for high-integrity carbon markets in its current documented state.
