This page ranks projects using VM0009 by their CarbonMeld document-based assessment scores. The rank compares project assessments; it is not a rating of the methodology itself.

CarbonMeld scores assess integrity, transparency, claim safety and documentation using project documents. Higher scores indicate stronger evidence under this framework. How to read CarbonMeld scores.

Project names, codes and registry status come from official registry records. Open a project dossier for its source record. Registry / standard: Verra / VCS .

Rank is by document-based assessment score only. The registry status shown next to each project is a separate fact: inclusion in this ranking is not a statement of current validity or credit eligibility — projects suspended, withdrawn or terminated by their registry can still appear, with their status labelled.
