Analysis

This Dutch methane recovery project has a solid additionality foundation (barrier test confirmed by the VVB) and a recently reassessed baseline, but suffers from significant monitoring data-quality issues that led the VVB to verify only 35% of the claimed emission reductions. Multiple material findings—including the absence of a flow meter, an uncalibrated gas analyzer, and data that does not match plant records—undermine confidence in the project's MRV system. The project is not CORSIA-eligible, which limits dual-channel risk, but the absence of a stated buffer pool and a 0% leakage deduction with a thin justification leave permanence and leakage safeguards underdeveloped.

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

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project credit type

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

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