What accountability measures are in place if future emissions reductions do not materialize for this project?

Credits from VCS 1650 are issued ex-post. This means credits are only issued after the reductions have been verified by an independent third party. If future emissions reductions do not materialize, credits will not be issued.

What are the pertinent data and calculation methods needed to independently reproduce and verify the number of emissions reductions or removal credits issued for this project?

All calculation methods for the project and methodology are publicly available in the Project Design Document(s) and registry website, which can be found here.
