Analysis

The Erie County Landfill project is a CAR-registered methane capture/combustion project with VVB-verified additionality and a measured baseline, but suffers from a notable gap in leakage treatment and several transparency omissions (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status). The most recent verification report (January 2026) confirms the project delivered approximately 99.9% of its claimed reductions for the 2024–2025 monitoring period, and no corrective actions are outstanding.
