Eligibility & market
What can you claim with this credit?
Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry) · documents analysed on 16 Oct 2026

Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)
No ICVCM information
No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.
Removal or reduction
Carbon removal
Takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere — the only type that can neutralise residual emissions in an SBTi net-zero claim.
Source: methodology
Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits
Paris Agreement (Article 6)
No Article 6 authorization
No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

Covers: this project's credit records as read on the registry
