Analysis

The City of Garland Landfill Gas Capture project has a verified additionality assessment and a measured project-specific baseline, but is undermined by four material findings (including a TCEQ enforcement notice and flow-meter calibration errors outside the 5% accuracy threshold), the absence of any stated leakage treatment, and a notable gap in safeguards documentation (no FPIC, grievance mechanism, or benefit-sharing description). The claimed and verified ERR figures are identical at 209,787 tCO₂e, which is reassuring, but the lack of an ex-ante lifetime estimate prevents a meaningful pro-rata delivery check.

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.
