Assessment

Document-based rating

3.1/10

Very low rating (under 3.5)

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 9 Nov 2026

Starting point

  • Additionality: CCQI's score for this type of project (CCQI does not grade this programme for this type of project: the CDM grade is used)
  • Quantification: CCQI's score for this type of project (CCQI does not grade this programme for this type of project: the CDM grade is used)
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

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

Not counted in the number

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

Being within an ICVCM-approved version range is information only: it does not mean these credits carry the CCP label, which the registry assigns to each issuance.

A version is shown only when the document's own text writes it next to the methodology code. Current versions, status and CCP ranges come from the official pages linked, checked on the date shown.
