Analysis

The AMC Maine Woods IFM project has verified additionality, a 16.04% buffer pool, and a highly conservative 40% leakage deduction, with no reversal events reported. However, the verification report (May 2025) lists over 40 material findings and 27 corrective actions, including computation errors, volume discrepancies with mill data, and an incorrect discount rate, which raise concerns about the robustness of the underlying baseline and monitoring data. The project-specific baseline and the absence of FPIC and a documented grievance mechanism further temper confidence.
