Reflorestamento de Impacto no Brasil Project

Audit Analysis

A 40-year Brazilian reforestation project (AR-ACM0003 v2.0) validated by AENOR with a combined additionality test and a 10% non-permanence buffer. The validation report identified 11 material findings and 11 corrective actions — all reportedly closed — but the project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with an initially incomplete justification, and a 33% discrepancy in lifetime ERR between the PDD and the validation report leave meaningful uncertainty. No monitoring reports or verified emission-reduction figures are available, so all claims remain untested against observed performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Lifetime ERR differs by 33% between the PDD (8,602 tCO₂e, Jul 2023) and the validation report (11,490 tCO₂e, Dec 2024); the basis for the increase is not explained in the extracted record.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% on the basis of 'deemed negligible' displacement, yet the validation report flagged an incomplete leakage justification as a material finding.
• ⚠Eleven material findings and eleven corrective actions were raised during validation, including incomplete demonstration of additionality, baseline scenario, No Net Harm safeguards, and methodology applicability.
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ERR figures, or monitoring-period data are available in the extracted record; all emission-reduction claims are unverified.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document.
