Analysis

A 20-year forest carbon project in Louisiana with a verified additionality test, 18% buffer pool, and quantified 23% leakage deduction, but the verification report reveals numerous quantification errors (implausible initial baseline, miscalculated leakage and uncertainty, vintage proration errors) that were corrected. The project delivered roughly 322% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the first monitoring period, raising over-crediting concerns, and 5.4 acres overlap with another carbon project, creating a double-claiming risk.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • 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.
