Analysis

A CDM methane-recovery project in Mexico validated by DNV with a verified combined additionality test, but the validation report records three material findings requiring corrective action (location errors, an under-stated incomplete-combustion loss, and a grid-emission-factor version mismatch). No monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions were found in the extracted record, and the low extraction confidence limits how much can be confirmed. The project is a straightforward avoidance-type methane project with no carbon-stock reversal risk, but the thin leakage justification and dated grid emission factor leave moderate over-crediting uncertainty.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

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

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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