Project Araçari
Audit Analysis
Project Araçari is an enhanced weathering carbon removal project in agriculture verified by 350Solutions under the Isometric standard. Additionality is confirmed and no reversals have occurred, but the project-specific baseline, unverified storage, a 0% leakage deduction, and a significant contradiction in the permanence claim (10,000 vs 1,000 years) introduce moderate risk. The extensive list of material findings and corrective actions indicates the initial documentation had notable gaps that were subsequently addressed.
Red Flags
- Permanence claim contradicts between documents: the validation report (Nov 2025) states 10,000 years while the PDD (Jun 2024) states 1,000 years — a tenfold discrepancy that undermines confidence in the permanence assertion
- Storage is not independently verified and carbon content has not been tested, leaving the core removal mechanism partially unconfirmed
- Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification, which is thin for an agricultural project where re-adsorption and feedstock supply-chain emissions are plausible leakage pathways
- 23 corrective actions were required during verification, including updates to the sensitivity analysis, stakeholder communication log, threshold calculations, and PDD comparability demonstration, indicating the initial submission had material gaps
