Sasol Nitrous Oxide Abatement Project - CER Conversion

ICVCM quality status

Methodology assessed by ICVCM and not approved.

• Programme: Verified Carbon Standard, CCP-eligible since May 2024.
• This project lists 2 methodologies; 2 of them appear in ICVCM's assessment table.
• AM0028 - N2O destruction in the tail gas of Caprolactam production plants - 1.0-6.0: very unlikely to meet the Core Carbon Principles
• AM0034 - Catalytic reduction of N2O inside the ammonia burner of nitric acid plants - 1.0-5.1.1: very unlikely to meet the Core Carbon Principles

The CCP label is applied to credits by the registry, issuance by issuance. An approved methodology means credits from this project can be eligible; it does not mean every credit carries the label.
