Analysis

This biochar project (Global Artisan C-Sink, India) has VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable 100-year permanence claim, but the verification report surfaces 22 material findings spanning feedstock quality, pyrolysis protocol failures, missing carbon-content analyses, and worker-safety gaps. The project remains in the 'Validated' registry stage with 19 open corrective actions, and several contradictions between the PDD, validation report, and verification report (permanence horizon, ERR figures, leakage justification, crediting period) undermine confidence in the underlying data. No credits have been issued yet, so over-crediting risk is theoretical, but the quality-control deficiencies raise real concerns about whether the claimed carbon content will be realised.

  • 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.
