Analysis

The Powellton Improved Forest Management Project is a 25-year ACR forest carbon project in West Virginia with a 19.2% buffer pool, no reported reversals, and a quantified 20% leakage deduction. However, the project-specific modeled baseline, absence of documented FPIC and grievance mechanisms, and a notable discrepancy in reported ERR figures (161,329 vs. 144,635 within the same verification report) introduce moderate risk. The project is reasonably documented with 18 source files and an independent VVB, but key safeguards and baseline reassessment details remain unconfirmed in the extracted record.

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    No ICVCM information

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

  • Removal or reduction
