Assessment

Document-based rating

2.8/10

Very low rating (under 3.5)

Evidence coverage: medium

How solid the credit is, as far as the registry's public documents show. Additionality and quantification start from a public grade; permanence starts at 5.0, the neutral point, where none applies, and claim safety always does.

This rating is provisional. A new analysis of the project is pending.

Methodology v3 · documents read on 24 Oct 2026

Starting point

  • Additionality: CCQI's score for this type of project (CCQI does not grade this programme for this type of project: the CDM grade is used)
  • Quantification: CCQI's score for this type of project (CCQI does not grade this programme for this type of project: the CDM grade is used)
  • Claim safety: neutral (5.0) — no public grade of this type of project applies

Not counted in the number

  • The oldest vintage still on sale, the content of the safeguards and the verifier's quality: not among the facts read
