Blue Planet Environmental Solutions has released a portfolio of 683,513 Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) generated from landfill reclamation projects in India. The credits are based on scientific waste processing that prevents methane emissions from legacy landfill sites. These credits follow ISO 14064-2 standards and are registered with the International Carbon Registry. The process involves excavating and stabilizing legacy waste to convert it into reusable resources while quantifying the resulting carbon offsets.

Blue Planet is putting out about 683k VERs from landfill work in India. They are claiming these are high integrity because they use ISO 14064-2 standards and the International Carbon Registry. Worth a look if you track methane avoidance.

The use of ICR and ISO standards is a start, but the real question is the baseline. Methane avoidance in legacy landfills is notoriously hard to quantify accurately. I want to see the specific methodology used to prove these emissions would have happened without the intervention.

Agreed on the baseline issue. A lot of these landfill credits have faced scrutiny lately. If the traceability is as good as the CEO claims, they should publish the project design documents for public review.

The waste processing side sounds fine, but I am curious about the energy requirements for the excavation and stabilization. If they are using diesel heavy machinery for the reclamation, does that eat into the net carbon benefit?
