Analysis

The Cedar Flats IFM Project is a 20-year forest carbon project in Washington State with a verified combined additionality test, a 17.11% buffer pool, and a generous 30% quantified leakage deduction. However, the monitoring report identifies 14 non-conformity findings—including a wildfire risk score below the minimum threshold and non-conforming uncertainty calculations—that raise material concerns about the robustness of the carbon accounting. The project delivered approximately 99% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, but the volume of corrective actions and a contradiction on FPIC status temper confidence in the overall integrity of the claim.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    In scope, not yet eligible

    The registry flags units as in scope for CORSIA; eligibility still needs host-country authorization.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks these credits with the Core Carbon Principles label of the Integrity Council.

    Source: registry label

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    Source: registry label

  • 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.
