Analysis

A long-running (since 2008) landfill gas destruction project with VVB-confirmed additionality and consistent ERR figures, but undermined by a critical contradiction on whether gas capture is legally required, a country-of-origin discrepancy (Lebanon vs. United States), and an extensive history of monitoring and calibration deficiencies. The project's destruction-based design inherently limits permanence risk, and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for LFG, yet the absence of a lifetime ex-ante estimate prevents a meaningful pro-rata delivery check.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project sector

  • 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.
