Analysis

The Birahi Ganga small hydro project displaces grid electricity using a standard AMS methodology with VVB-verified additionality, but is undermined by a serious contradiction over whether Free, Prior and Informed Consent was actually conducted, a project-specific (rather than jurisdictional) baseline, and an extensive list of missing operational documents (commission certificate, PPA, O&M agreement, meter readings) that triggered numerous corrective action requests across multiple verification cycles.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Stated in the project documents

    The documents claim CORSIA eligibility, but no registry label confirms it: check vintage and authorization.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry)

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMAMS-I.D

    The Integrity Council assessed this methodology as not meeting the Core Carbon Principles.

    Source: ICVCM assessment

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: registry label

  • 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.
