Analysis

The Cerro Dominador CSP project has VVB-confirmed additionality and delivered roughly 985% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for its short monitoring window, but is undermined by severe operational failures, a 0% leakage deduction with no stated justification, nine cross-document contradictions (including a 7× spread in verified ERR figures), and a PDD containing incorrect equation references. The low extraction confidence and inconsistent safeguard reporting across verification cycles further erode confidence in the data record.

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • 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.
