Analysis

The Herrema Dairy methane capture project (CAR-487) was verified by SES, Inc. for a 42-month monitoring period, but the verification report discloses severe data-quality problems: monitoring data were deemed inadequate for over 20 months, four of five flow meters produced unusable readings, and a methane sample was missed. A corrective action was accepted to bring the GHG assertion into material conformance, yet the underlying fragility of the measurement system and the absence of documented additionality testing, leakage treatment, and safeguards leave significant uncertainty about the robustness of the 18,504-tonne credit claim.
