On 12 August 2026, Verra announced that the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) approved two of its methodologies as meeting the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs). The approved methodologies are VM0051 Improved Management in Rice Production Systems, v1.1, and VMR0016 Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas (ACM0001 Revision), v1.0. These methodologies address methane emissions from rice cultivation and landfill gas capture, respectively. Projects using these methodologies can now generate CCP-labelled credits if they meet all eligibility conditions. VMR0016 replaces ACM0001 and AMS-III.G. as the standalone landfill gas methodology in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Programme.
