Analysis

Henrico County Landfill Gas Combustion Project (United States) captures landfill gas and flares or uses it (landfill gas is used for electricity generation and flaring; no thermal energy or natural gas for pipeline distribution is produced. The flare has a 98% destruction efficiency with a flow range between 135 scfm and 1350 scfm) under ACM0001 version 10.0; registry status Registered (VCS), 761,906 credits issued (vintages 2009–2022). The documents name First Environment, Inc as validation body, Ruby Canyon Environmental, Inc as validator of the crediting-period renewal and First Environment, Inc (2009-01-01 – 2010-05-31, 2015-01-01 – 2018-12-31, 2020-01-01 – 2020-12-31, 2021-01-01 – 2021-12-31, 2022-01-01 – 2022-12-31), SCS Global Services (2010-01-01 – 2010-12-31, 2011-01-01 – 2011-12-31, 2012-10-01 – 2012-12-31), PJRCES, Inc (2014-01-01 – 2014-12-31), Ruby Canyon Environmental, Inc (2019-01-01 – 2019-12-31) as verification bodies. The latest verification report (01-January-2022 – 31-December-2022) verifies 36,758 tCO2e.

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)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks these credits with the Core Carbon Principles label of the Integrity Council.

    Source: registry label

  • 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.

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.
