Adanus Landfill Gas to Electricity Project

Audit Analysis

The Adanus Landfill Gas to Electricity Project in Turkey uses established methodologies (ACM0001/ACM0022) and reports no reversal events, but the available record consists solely of a PDD with no verification or monitoring reports. Key integrity elements such as VVB-confirmed additionality, a quantified leakage deduction, and a buffer pool are absent from the extracted data, and the project-specific modeled baseline adds uncertainty. The overall picture is one of a structurally sound project concept whose claims remain largely unverified in the available documentation.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification body (VVB) is identified in the available record, and additionality verification by a VVB is not confirmed
• ⚠Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the PDD, yet no actual deduction percentage is found in the extracted data
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures are available to corroborate the claimed 218,573 tCO₂e per period
• ⚠Benefit-sharing description is contradictory between two PDD versions (stated true in March 2025, false in April 2025)
