Document-based rating

7.0/10

High rating (6.5 or more)

Evidence coverage: high

How solid the credit is, as far as the registry's public documents show. Additionality and quantification start from a public grade; permanence starts at 5.0, the neutral point, where none applies, and claim safety always does.

Methodology v3 · documents read on 18 Oct 2026

Starting point

  • Additionality: the registry's CCP label on this project's credits
  • Quantification: the registry's CCP label on this project's credits
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

Rules that raised the number: 3

Each rule, with the fact and the source it rests on, is in the Premium analysis.

Not counted in the number

  • An earlier verification opinion was qualified: only the latest opinion read counts
  • The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read

    Emission reduction or avoidance
