Blue Planet Environmental Solutions has introduced a portfolio of 683,513 Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) derived from waste processing projects in India. The initiative focuses on reclaiming legacy landfills to prevent methane emissions from entering the atmosphere. These credits follow European standards for municipal solid waste management. Each credit represents one metric ton of CO2-equivalent emissions avoided through scientific waste processing and sustainable land use interventions.

Blue Planet is putting out over 680k VERs from landfill work in India. It is basically methane avoidance from old waste sites. Worth a look for anyone tracking waste-to-value credits.

The mention of European standards is a start, but I want to see the specific methodology used for the baseline. Methane avoidance in legacy landfills is notorious for overestimating additions if the baseline is not tight.

Agreed. The gap between scientific waste processing and actual verified reduction is where these projects usually fail. We need the audit trail for these credits.

Landfill reclamation is heavy on logistics and site prep. Does the portfolio include the emissions from the machinery used to process the waste, or is that ignored in the VER calculation?
