Analysis

The African Biogas Carbon Programme in Kenya is a VVB-verified biogas project with a confirmed barrier additionality test and a measured project-specific baseline reassessed in 2024. However, the verification report (December 2025) lists over 13 clarification items and 8 corrective actions, including missing survey evidence, inconsistent parameter values, a not-approved deviation request, and a revalidation delay that blocked Certified Impact Statements. The absence of a buffer pool, the FPIC contradiction, and the volume of unresolved documentation gaps materially weaken confidence in the project's integrity and documentation quality.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology approved for some versionsGS Methodology for Animal Manure

    The Integrity Council approved some versions of this protocol and not others: check which version the project uses before claiming CCP quality.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

  • 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.
