Analysis

This CAR-registered improved forest management project in Virginia has a quantified 20% leakage deduction and a calculated 19.24% reversal risk, but suffers from a critical absence of VVB-verified additionality, a project-specific baseline with no stated reassessment date, and a serious contradiction between the monitoring report (showing a negative ERR of −3,360) and the verification report (claiming 43,347 credits). The overall evidence base is undermined by these gaps and discrepancies.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
