Document-based rating

5.3/10

Moderate rating (5.0 to 6.4)

Evidence coverage: medium

How solid the credit is, as far as the registry's public documents show. 5.0 is the neutral point, where no public source says good or bad.

Methodology v3 · documents read on 12 Oct 2026

Starting point

  • Additionality: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project is used
  • Quantification: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project is used
  • Permanence: the EU class of permanent carbon removals
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project is used

No rule raised or lowered the number: it is the starting point.

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

Not counted in the number

  • The vintage: the registry records we hold show no issuance
  • The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read
