Eligibility & market
What can you claim with this credit?
Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).
Airlines (CORSIA)
First phase label on the registry (2024–2026)
The registry labels credits of this project eligible for the first phase. Only units of 2021–2026 vintages that carry the label count for airlines' CORSIA obligations: check the units, not only the project.
Every issued vintage (2021–2026) is inside the First Phase window (2021–2026): check that the units offered carry the label.

Covers: credits of this project that carry the label on the registry — not every unit or lot
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)
Authorized by the host countryIntl mitigation purposes · NDC Use · Other purposes
The registry shows a host-country authorization for credits of this project, with a corresponding adjustment for the authorized uses: check that the units offered are among them.

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.
