Assessment

Document-based rating

0.0/10

Very low rating (under 3.5)

Evidence coverage: medium

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 16 Oct 2026

Starting point

  • Additionality: CCQI's score for this type of project
  • Quantification: CCQI's score for this type of project
  • Permanence: CCQI's score for this type of project (CCQI grades permanence by programme: this is its grade of the project's programme)
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

Negative facts

  • Registry status: On Hold

Credits issued under this methodology cannot receive the CCP label (ICVCM, 15 Nov 2024).

Not counted in the number

  • The baseline type: not among the facts read
  • The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read
