Analysis

The Paulínia Landfill Gas Project is a CDM methane project with VVB-verified additionality and an established methodology (ACM0001 v19.0), but it is undermined by a significant grid emission factor discrepancy between the PDD and monitoring report, a 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justifications, and a project-specific modeled baseline. The very short monitoring window (3.5 months into a 7-year crediting period) and absence of verified ERR figures limit confidence in the project's actual performance.

    This registry does not publish CORSIA eligibility per project.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

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.
