Analysis

The Cartagena Landfill Gas Capture project has a solid additionality foundation (investment test confirmed by the VVB) and inherently low permanence risk as a gas-capture project, but is undermined by a series of material findings related to calibration delays, missing certificates, and outdated grid emission factors. The absence of a lifetime ex-ante estimate and several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring method) limits the ability to fully verify the 95,860 tCO₂e claim. Documentation quality is further weakened by low extraction confidence and multiple corrective actions required.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish CORSIA eligibility per project.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: project sector

    Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

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.
