Quinault Forest Carbon Project
#24of 28 in Water#56of 115 in United States#8of 45 in American Carbon Registry (ACR)
Audit Analysis
The project establishes a foundational carbon accounting framework with an investment additionality test and a meaningful buffer pool contribution, but critical verification and monitoring data are missing from the record. Leakage treatment, baseline reassessment timelines, and independent verifier confirmation require clarification to ensure long-term credit integrity.
Red Flags
- Leakage treatment entirely missing for a forest project where displacement risk is expected
- Independent VVB verification status not documented despite additionality test being stated
- CORSIA and CCP eligibility status unknown, leaving double-counting exposure unverified
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
Risk Indicators
