Analysis

This Improved Forest Management project in Kentucky (CAR-1208) has a substantial buffer pool (19.24%) and a reputable VVB (SCS Global Services), but suffers from critical gaps: no documented additionality test, no leakage treatment, and a confirmed carbon-stock reversal from the February 2021 ice storms. The 2023 verification report recorded a deeply negative verified ERR of −337,587 tCO₂e, indicating the project was a net carbon source during that period, which raises serious over-crediting concerns.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • 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: 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.
