Assessment

Document-based rating

7.0/10

High rating (6.5 or more)

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.

This rating is provisional. A new analysis of the project is pending.

Starting point

  • Additionality: the registry's CCP label on this project's credits
  • Quantification: the registry's CCP label on this project's credits
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

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

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label · read on 12 Nov 2026

    Covers: this project's credit records as read on the registry

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks credits of this project with the Integrity Council's Core Carbon Principles label: check that the units offered carry it.

    Source: registry label · read on 12 Nov 2026

    Covers: credits of this project that carry the label on the registry — not every unit or lot

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project sector

    Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

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.
