Analysis

The Onyx Alexandria landfill gas project is a CDM methane capture-and-flare project verified by TÜV SÜD, but it carries a heavy burden of material findings (over 30 items) and corrective actions spanning additionality evidence, monitoring equipment failures, and PDD quality. A critical contradiction exists on whether landfill gas capture is legally required in Egypt (2006 validation says no; 2011 monitoring report says yes), which directly undermines the additionality claim. The 0% leakage deduction lacks a coherent justification, and the project-specific modeled baseline has not been reassessed since 2005.

Being within an ICVCM-approved version range is information only: it does not mean these credits carry the CCP label, which the registry assigns to each issuance.

A version is shown only when the document's own text writes it next to the methodology code. Current versions, status and CCP ranges come from the official pages linked, checked on the date shown.
