Analysis

The Cambria 33 mine methane project is verified by SCS Global Services with a recent 2023 monitoring period and consistent claimed/verified ERR of 32,529 tCO₂e. However, the verification report flags material findings indicating the project is operating in a substantially different configuration than originally described (engine generator and gas pipeline no longer operating, new methane sources and destruction devices added), and key integrity documentation—additionality test type, VVB confirmation, and leakage treatment—is absent from the extracted record. The project is functional but carries elevated configuration-drift and documentation gaps that limit confidence in the integrity of the credit claims.
