Analysis

Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority Landfill Gas Collection and Combustion Project (United States) captures landfill gas and flares or uses it (landfill gas collected and destroyed... The methane destroyed by the Project (MDproject,y) was calculated based on the quantity used to generate electricity as no emission reductions were taken by the flare due to its limited use) under ACM0001 version 18.1; registry status Registered (VCS), 304,561 credits issued (vintages 2008–2025). The documents name SCS Global Services as validation / verification body. The documents estimate 21,808 tCO2e per year. The latest verification report (01-October-2023 – 30-June-2025) verifies 37,155 tCO2e.

    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.

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.
