Score breakdown
Vintage Recency›
Max 15
15/15
Older credits often used outdated baselines and are increasingly rejected by buyers under CSRD/CORSIA.
Methodology Integrity›
Max 20
18/20
Some methodologies have systemic over-crediting risk; newer engineered or ARR methods are higher integrity.
Standard & Verifier Quality›
Max 15
10/15
Standard body and DOE/VVB matter for regulatory acceptance.
Additionality Evidence›
Max 15
14/15
Without additionality, the credit doesn't represent real new abatement.
Permanence & Buffer Pool›
Max 15
14/15
Critical for nature-based; insufficient buffer means reversal risk.
Co-benefits & SDGs›
Max 10
9/10
Buyers under CSRD increasingly require co-benefit reporting.
Registry Red Flags›
Max 10
10/10
Cancellations, double-counting flags, disputes drag the score down.
ClimSen monitors this project's vegetation density weekly using ESA Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Anomalies trigger a human review and can lower the Premium Score.
