Analysis

The Affinity Mine Methane Incineration Project is an active coal-mine-methane capture and destruction project in West Virginia operating under the ACR Compliance Offset Protocol. While the project shows no material findings or corrective actions and is under active monitoring, significant documentation gaps persist: additionality testing is not explicitly confirmed by the VVB, the baseline method is unstated and contradicted across documents, and leakage treatment is entirely absent from the available documents. The low extraction confidence and ERR contradictions between two verification reports further limit confidence in the credit figures.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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