Project Information
Hvanná hosts a 66,2-hectare forestry project aimed at carbon sequestration. The area, which consisted mainly of abandoned grass fields and sparsely- or unvegetated habitats, saw the planting of approximately 100,000 trees—pine, cottonwood, and spruce—in the summer of 2022. The main goals are to sequester CO₂, enhance Hvanná´s biodiversity and soil, and generate jobs and other benefits. In the future, the forest may also offer valuable sustainable resources for landowners/community.

Additionality
Level 1 additionality
Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.
Level 2a additionality
Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.
Level 4b additionality
Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.
