Analysis

A CDM methane-avoidance project (AM0016) in Sonora, Mexico, with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified leakage treatment, but undermined by a roughly ten-fold discrepancy in the ex-ante lifetime ER between the 2010 and 2011 monitoring reports, a very old (1990) grid emission-factor reference year, and a project-specific modeled baseline. The project is a technology-based methane capture scheme, so carbon-stock reversal risk is not applicable; permanence rests on continued facility operation.

  • 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
