Analysis

The Volunteer Regional Landfill is a CAR-registered methane capture project with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a 10-year crediting period, but its integrity is undermined by a long history of flow-meter calibration lapses, data-logger failures, and material misstatements spanning 2009 to 2025. Leakage treatment and baseline reassessment timing are not stated in the available documents, and the project-specific modeled baseline adds conservatism risk. The project delivered roughly 82% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2025 monitoring period, suggesting moderate under-delivery consistent with declining landfill gas generation.
