Analysis

The Orange County NC Landfill Gas Project has a solid additionality foundation confirmed by the VVB via a combined test, but is undermined by a long list of QA/QC material findings including a NOV for CO/NOx exceedance, repeated calibration failures, and a 10% methane concentration discount. The project delivered only ~15% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the latest monitoring period, and the baseline is project-specific and modeled with no stated reassessment date. CORSIA eligibility without a stated CCP position creates dual-channel risk.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Stated in the project documents

    The documents claim CORSIA eligibility, but no registry label confirms it: check vintage and authorization.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry)

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks these credits with the Core Carbon Principles label of the Integrity Council.

    Source: registry label

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: registry label

  • 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.
