About The Project Database

The VCS Project Database is the central storehouse of information on all projects validated to VCS criteria and all Verified Carbon Units issued under the program. Every VCU can be tracked from issuance to retirement in the database, allowing buyers to ensure every credit is real, additional, permanent, independently verified, uniquely numbered and fully traceable online.

Buffer credits held in the AFOLU pooled buffer account can also be tracked online. These are credits issued by Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land-Use projects to insure against the risk of loss of stored carbon.
