Analysis

The Little Bear Forestry Project is a 20-year improved forest management project in West Virginia and Virginia with a VVB-verified combined additionality test, a 30% quantified leakage deduction, and a 16% buffer pool. However, a required corrective action on vintage calculations, a project-specific modeled baseline, the absence of FPIC, and five inter-document contradictions (including a buffer pool discrepancy of 16% vs 18%) introduce moderate data-reliability concerns. The project over-delivered relative to its pro-rata ex-ante expectation (≈139%), which is a positive signal for claim safety.

Evidence

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.

  • 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.

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.
