Analysis

This California wildfire reforestation project (CAR-1167) is verified by SCS Global Services under the U.S. Forest Projects methodology, with claimed and verified ERR figures matching at -324 tCO₂e for the 2015–2017 monitoring period. However, critical AFOLU-specific safeguards—including additionality testing, buffer pool allocation, leakage treatment, and baseline reassessment—are absent from the extracted record, creating significant evidence gaps for a carbon-stock project. The project operates in a regulated compliance registry, which provides some structural assurance, but the documentation does not demonstrate the depth of verification expected for a 25-year reforestation commitment.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Not checked yet

    This registry publishes CORSIA labels, but CarbonMeld has not read this project's credit records yet: we cannot say whether its credits carry one. Check on the registry.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

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

  • 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: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not checked yet

    This registry publishes Article 6 authorizations, but CarbonMeld has not read this project's credit records yet: we cannot say whether any credits are authorized. Check on the registry.

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.
