Analysis

Tradewater OOG 1 is an orphaned well-plugging project in Indiana with a 21-year crediting period and a lifetime estimate of ~458,000 tCO₂e. The project type is inherently low-risk for permanence and leakage, and no material findings or corrective actions were reported. However, the low extraction confidence, a missing verified ERR figure, an unconfirmed VVB additionality verification, and one unidentified document type limit confidence in the overall evidence base.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    In scope, not yet eligible

    The registry flags units as in scope for CORSIA; eligibility still needs host-country authorization.

    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 credit type

  • 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.
