Analysis

The Brusque Landfill Gas Project has VVB-confirmed additionality but is undermined by extensive material findings (30+ items), a 50% uncertainty in methane generation estimates, and a verified reduction figure (65,023 tCO2e) that is only ~44% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitoring period. Multiple contradictions between the monitoring and verification reports on ERR figures, grid emission factor, and baseline type raise data-reliability concerns. The absence of a stated buffer pool, FPIC, and benefit-sharing description further weakens the project's integrity and safeguards profile.

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)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks these credits with the Core Carbon Principles label of the Integrity Council.

    Source: registry label

  • 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.

    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.

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.
