Analysis

A CAR-registered organic waste digestion project at a US beef processing facility with VVB-confirmed additionality but significant operational and MRV weaknesses. The 2025 monitoring period saw a 4.5-month flare outage and multiple flow-meter calibration failures, resulting in verified reductions of only 3,000 tCO2e (roughly 8% of the pro-rata annual expectation). CORSIA eligibility combined with a project-specific modeled baseline and unaddressed leakage elevates over-crediting and dual-channel risk.

Evidence

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)

    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)

    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.
