BEYAZ PİRAMİT BIOGAS PROJECT

Audit Analysis

The Beyaz Piramit Biogas Project is a VCS-registered biogas project in Turkey with a verified investment-test additionality and no reversal risk, but it suffers from significant data gaps including no buffer pool, no LCA, no feedstock sustainability assessment, and a major reporting inconsistency in the claimed ERR figures (84,916 in the validation report versus 594,412 in the PDD). The low extraction confidence and absence of any monitoring-period data further limit confidence in the project's ongoing performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR figures differ by a factor of seven between the validation report (84,916) and the PDD (594,412); while 84,916 × 7 ≈ 594,412 suggests an annual-vs-lifetime reporting difference, both are labelled 'total ERR claimed', creating material ambiguity
• ⚠No buffer pool is in place and no permanence mechanism beyond the 7-year crediting period is documented
• ⚠No LCA, no feedstock sustainability assessment, no carbon content testing, and no independent storage verification were found in any available document
• ⚠Six Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation, including a methodology deviation for the PECO2,Trans,y calculation, indicating non-trivial implementation issues
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite the project involving community-level benefit sharing
