ICVCM backs Verra’s biochar and IFM methods as high-integrity climate solutions
Sources of information September 5, 2025 | CarbonCredits.com |
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has granted Core Carbon Principles eligibility to Verra’s biochar and Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodologies, a milestone that raises confidence in these high-integrity credit types. The endorsement acknowledges strengthened permanence rules and clearer leakage accounting, yet the article also stresses that large-scale deployment will depend on project developers meeting stringent data and documentation requirements. Biochar projects, in particular, must demonstrate verifiable long-term carbon stability, while IFM initiatives need detailed baselines and transparent monitoring to avoid over-crediting. ICVCM’s decision is expected to mobilize new investment but also sets a higher compliance bar, signaling a shift toward more rigorous quantification and standardized MRV across the voluntary carbon market.
