DelAgua is pleased to announce that Verra has approved the updated Common Tabular Format (CTF) tables submitted by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), Rwanda’s Designated National Authority. The CTF tables formally record Corresponding Adjustments for 5,690,481 credits across three DelAgua projects (VCS2749, VCS3699 and VCS4150) covering vintages 2021 – 2024.
The updated filing covers three DelAgua projects:
Together, these total 5,690,481 credits, represent the full volume of credits authorised for international transfer and are now formally carried within Rwanda’s national emissions balance. Rwanda is now among a small number of countries globally to have met this standard of reporting and transparency.
This submission, and Verra’s confirmation, complete the full Article 6 accounting chain for these credits and eliminates the Corresponding Adjustment risk that has previously weighed on buyer confidence in Article 6 supply. These DelAgua credits now carry no double counting exposure and no compliance uncertainty.
The Corresponding Adjustment completion also provides the first example globally of how CORSIA insurance is a powerful and effective tool to allow carbon credits to be delivered into CORSIA Phase 1. The VCS3699 and VCS4150 credits had been insured by Oka, Artio and CFC in January 2026, making the credits eligible for CORSIA Phase 1, and following this reporting the insurance will go off risk.
“This outcome reflects years of close working partnership with the Government of Rwanda. The confirmation of Corresponding Adjustments at this scale is a demonstration of Rwanda’s unwavering commitment to transparent, accountable climate action and reporting. We are proud to stand alongside the Government of Rwanda in demonstrating what is possible when project developers and host governments are fully aligned. For the market, this sets a benchmark while for our buyers, it provides the assurance they have rightly demanded.”— Euan McDougall, CEO DelAgua Group
The significance of this milestone extends well beyond DelAgua, addressing a principal barrier to corporate and airline buyer participation in Article 6 markets that has been the absence of confirmed Corresponding Adjustments. Rwanda’s completion of this process and with full registry level traceability, demonstrates that the Article 6 architecture can function as designed.
For institutional buyers and compliance markets seeking long term certainty, this update represents precisely the type of government backed assurance that credible carbon procurement requires.
