Analysis

The Denton Landfill Gas Destruction Project is a CAR-registered methane capture project with VVB-confirmed additionality, but its integrity is undermined by multiple material findings (data inconsistencies, missed calibration, a pre-existing bio-diesel project) and a significant contradiction between two verification reports showing ERR figures of 10,997 versus 48,915. Key safeguards, leakage treatment, and CORSIA/CCP eligibility are absent from the available record, limiting confidence in the project's claim safety.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

    Source: registry label

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology approved for some versionsCAR U.S. Landfill Protocol

    The Integrity Council approved some versions of this protocol and not others: check which version the project uses before claiming CCP quality.

    Source: ICVCM assessment

  • 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.
