Analysis

Merit Energy's CO2 sequestration project at the Lost Soldier/Wertz fields in Wyoming is a verified EOR-based CCS project with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and quantified leakage treatment. However, independent storage verification is not documented, three corrective actions were required by the verifier, and the project sits on the now-defunct ACR registry with data dating to 2008, limiting current verifiability. The verified ERR exceeds the PDD estimate, suggesting a conservative baseline, but the EOR context and incomplete permanence documentation warrant caution.

Evidence

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)

    No ICVCM information

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

  • Removal or reduction

    Carbon removal

    Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.

    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.
