Analysis

The Barka Landfill Gas Recovery Project in Oman is a VCS-registered LFG capture project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a measured project-specific baseline. However, four material findings—including intermittent flare shutdown and absence of the gas generator—indicate significant operational underperformance, and the 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification. Multiple contradictions between the verification report, monitoring report, and PDD on safeguards, benefit-sharing, and crediting-period dates reduce confidence in the documentation record.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

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

Being within an ICVCM-approved version range is information only: it does not mean these credits carry the CCP label, which the registry assigns to each issuance.

A version is shown only when the document's own text writes it next to the methodology code. Current versions, status and CCP ranges come from the official pages linked, checked on the date shown.
