Analysis

The Maracá Ceramic fuel-switching project (VCS-455) is a VCS-registered energy project in Brazil that switches from non-renewable to renewable biomass for ceramic kilns. Additionality is confirmed by the VVB via a barrier test, leakage is quantified at 5%, and the project delivered roughly 92% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period. However, permanence risk is not explicitly addressed, no buffer pool is in place, the baseline is project-specific, and the low extraction confidence in the source documents introduces residual uncertainty.

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

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMAMS-I.E

    The Integrity Council assessed this methodology as not meeting the Core Carbon Principles.

    Source: ICVCM assessment

  • 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.
