Analysis

The Rio Negro Ceramic fuel-switching project has a sound core methodology (AMS-I.E.) with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but is undermined by 12 cross-document contradictions—including a significant FNRB discrepancy (93.8 vs 0.8209)—14 corrective action requests, an expired clay extraction licence, and the absence of an environmental management system. The project is inherently low-risk on permanence (energy sector, no carbon storage), yet operational fragility (100% workforce turnover from flood losses) and a project-specific baseline that has not been reassessed introduce material uncertainty into the long-term credit validity.

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMAMS-I.E

    The Integrity Council assessed this methodology as not meeting the Core Carbon Principles.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

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