Analysis

A VCS-registered geothermal space-heating project in China with VVB-confirmed investment additionality and no reversal events, but burdened by 13 material findings, two inter-document contradictions, and a project-specific baseline. The project delivered roughly 71% of its pro-rata expected emissions reductions for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. Documentation quality is the weakest dimension, with numerous PDMR gaps and formula errors requiring corrective action.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

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