Analysis

Spray Foam Alpha is an ACR industrial project transitioning foam manufacturing to lower-GWP blowing agents. Additionality is VVB-confirmed and leakage is quantified at 3%, but the verification report identified six material findings including calculation errors, inclusion of ineligible data, and a missing discount factor, all requiring corrective action. The identical ERR figures across claimed, verified, and ex-ante lifetime estimates—combined with only one year of monitoring for a ten-year crediting period—raise over-crediting concerns.

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.
