Analysis

The Orb Energy Solar Program is a long-running Gold Standard solar thermal/electricity project in India with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no reversal events, but it is undermined by an unaddressed 0% leakage deduction, a project-specific baseline with no documented reassessment, and a large volume of material findings and corrective actions across multiple verification cycles. The absence of an ex-ante lifetime emission reduction estimate and an unverified usage rate limit the ability to confirm that claimed credits are not overstated.

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: registry label

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

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.
