Analysis

This ACR industrial process project replaces HFC-245fa blowing agent with a lower-GWP alternative in spray foam manufacturing across three US states. Additionality is confirmed by the VVB via a combined test and a 3% leakage deduction is applied, but the verification report identified four material calculation errors (missing discount factor, incorrect blowing-agent ratios, inconsistent quantities, and rounding) that were subsequently corrected, and multiple contradictions persist between the PDD, verification, and validation reports on ERR totals, leakage treatment, and crediting period start date.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Pilot phase only (2021–2023)

    Eligible only for the pilot phase: not usable for the current 2024–2026 phase.

    Source: registry label

  • 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: 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.

    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.
