Akalan Biogas Energy Power Plant

Audit Analysis

The Akalan Biogas Energy Power Plant is a VCS-registered biogas project in Turkey with a confirmed investment additionality test and FPIC, but it relies on a project-specific modeled baseline, applies a 0% leakage deduction, and lacks a buffer pool, LCA, and feedstock sustainability documentation. The identical claimed and verified ERR figures (736,530) appear to reflect the ex-ante validation estimate rather than independent monitoring results, and the low extraction confidence across nine source documents limits assurance on data completeness.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total ERR claimed and verified are identical (736,530), suggesting the 'verified' figure is the ex-ante PDD estimate rather than an independent monitoring-period result; no monitoring period is stated in the extracted record.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% despite the project involving poultry farm feedstock; the PDD characterises leakage as 'deemed negligible' while the later validation report calls it 'quantified' — the basis for a zero deduction is not clearly documented.
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a project whose crediting period runs to April 2029.
• ⚠Feedstock sustainability, carbon content testing, and LCA are all absent from the extracted record, creating gaps in the environmental integrity chain for a biogas project.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one of the nine source documents is classified as 'unknown' type, reducing assurance on the completeness of the evidence base.
