Analysis

The Sidlaghatta Biogas Project has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a quantified 10% leakage deduction, but is undermined by severe operational underperformance (only 671 of 1,716 units functioning), five corrective action requests, nine cross-document contradictions, and the absence of a buffer pool or reversal-risk treatment. The project delivered roughly 40% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the final monitoring period, reflecting a baseline that was overly optimistic relative to actual unit survival rates.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Stated in the project documents

    The documents claim CORSIA eligibility, but no registry label confirms it: check vintage and authorization.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry) · documents analysed on 6 Sep 2026

    Covers: what the project documents state — not a registry record

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: registry label · read on 2 Nov 2026

    Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
