Document-based rating

5.2/10

Moderate rating (5.0 to 6.4)

Evidence coverage: medium

How solid the credit is, as far as the registry's public documents show. Additionality and quantification start from a public grade; permanence starts at 5.0, the neutral point, where none applies, and claim safety always does.

Starting point

  • Additionality: CCQI's score for this type of project
  • Quantification: CCQI's score for this type of project
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

No rule raised or lowered the number: it is the starting point.

Not counted in the number

  • The ICVCM's decision: the ICVCM is still assessing this methodology
  • The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read
