Analysis

Maple Leaf Dairy East is a Wisconsin dairy methane-capture project on the CAR registry with a named VVB and a specified Livestock Protocol methodology, but the available documents are missing critical integrity elements: no additionality test, no baseline method, and no leakage treatment are documented. A significant contradiction in verified ERR figures (685 in the 2020 report versus 7,128 in the 2018 report) raises data-reliability concerns that cannot be resolved from the available documents.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

    No ICVCM information

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

  • Removal or reduction
