Analysis

A long-running CAR compliance mine-methane offset project (operational since 2015) verified by TÜV SÜD America, with claimed and verified ERR matching at 348,037 tCO₂e for the 2025 monitoring period. The regulated CAR framework and reputable VVB provide a solid structural foundation, but a material finding on out-of-protocol data substitution, a shift in the legal requirement status of methane capture, and the absence of any stated leakage treatment or baseline reassessment date leave meaningful gaps in the additionality and completeness picture.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • 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

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label

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.
