Analysis

PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer LP - NAP V Nitrous Oxide Abatement Project (US) abates N2O at a nitric acid plant with a dedicated secondary or tertiary abatement catalyst (secondary abatement catalyst installed in the reactor vessel below the primary oxidation gauze at a nitric acid plant (Train 5)) under CAR Nitric Acid Production Project Protocol (the document read applies Version 2.0); registry status Crediting ended (CAR), 417,612 credits issued (vintages 2011–2012). The documents name Ruby Canyon Engineering as validation / verification body. A verification report is in the record. Before Version 3.0 the protocol names no monitoring report: for each reporting period it makes public the verification report, the verifier's statement or opinion and signed attestations. The verification report of 2014-01-13 was read and no achieved amount was confirmed from it.

    No CORSIA label on the registry

    Not usable for airlines' CORSIA obligations.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    The Integrity Council has not decided on this methodology yet.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.
