Impacts
Project Information
Maaden's 30-year CDR project in Saudi Arabia aims to plant 4M mangroves - Avicennia marina in Jubail reserve and Gurmah Island to sequester CO₂, enhance biodiversity, and protect coasts. Aligned with Saudi Green Initiative, it follows ISO 14064-2:2019 and CDM-AR-AM0014. It ensures financial, regulatory, and technical additionality, long-term monitoring, and permanence. The project is expected to sequester approximately 11,867 tons of CO₂ annually, totaling 3,56,011 tons over 30 years. The project supports SDGs 13, 14, and 15 and positions Maaden as a leader in ecological restoration.

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 3 additionality
Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.
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.
Level 5 additionality
Policy additionality. Implementation of actions may lie out of the scope of the host country's Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and, therefore, not eligible for international transfer mechanism. When project implementation goes beyond its host country’s climate objectives and lies outside of the scope of its climate action strategy towards its NDCs, it is considered to be policy additional.
