Analysis

The Scott River Shackleford IFM Project is a well-structured California forest management project with a verified combined additionality test, a 24% buffer pool, no reported reversal events, and a conservative 40% leakage deduction. The main integrity gaps are the absence of FPIC, a grievance mechanism, and verified benefit-sharing arrangements, which are notable for a community-adjacent forest project. Delivery is on track at roughly 105% of the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, and documentation is comprehensive with high extraction confidence.

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.

  • 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.
