Red flagWithdrawn from the registry

The project has been taken off the registry, usually at the developer's request: for example because it would not pass validation, moved to another standard or was abandoned. It issues no further credits here.

Analysis

The Crow Lake Wind project uses a well-established methodology (ACM0002) with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, but its withdrawn registry status, a three-year monitoring gap (2015–2017), verification against an outdated VCS Standard version, and 23 unresolved corrective actions severely undermine confidence in the integrity and reliability of its emission reduction claims. The project delivered roughly 70–76% of its pro-rata expectation for the monitored period, and multiple contradictions across documents further erode data reliability.

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)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMACM0002

    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: methodology

  • 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.
