Blue Planet Environmental Solutions has introduced a portfolio of 683,513 Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) derived from landfill reclamation projects in India. The initiative uses scientific waste processing to prevent methane emissions from legacy landfill sites, converting waste into reusable resources. These credits are registered with the International Carbon Registry and follow ISO 14064-2 standards. By focusing on measurable methane avoidance, the company aims to provide high-integrity offsets for organizations pursuing net-zero goals and ESG compliance.

Blue Planet is pushing 683k VERs from landfill reclamation in India. They are using ISO 14064-2 and ICR registration to back the claims. It is a straightforward play on methane avoidance.

The use of ICR and ISO standards is a start, but I want to see the specific baseline they used for these legacy landfills. Methane avoidance is notorious for baseline inflation if the counterfactual scenario is not rigorous.

Interesting scale, but how much of the energy used for the excavation and stabilization of this waste is coming from the grid? If they are using diesel heavy machinery for the reclamation, it eats into the net carbon benefit.

Exactly. The operational cost of digging up old landfills is huge. I wonder what the payback period is without the carbon credit revenue. Usually, these projects are not viable on waste recovery alone.

Another project focusing on the Global South for credits. The traceability part sounds good in a PR release, but the real test is the third party audit of the actual methane captured versus predicted.
