Analysis

WMMC1 is a coal-mine methane capture project in West Virginia verified by First Environment of California, Inc., with a consistent ERR of 6,472 tCO₂e for the 2024–2025 monitoring period and only two minor material findings. However, the documents reviewed contain no documented baseline method, additionality test, leakage treatment, or methodology reference — fundamental elements for a methane project — leaving the integrity of the credit claims largely unverifiable from the available evidence.
