Analysis

The Çaldere small hydro project (VCS-363, Turkey) is a straightforward renewable energy avoidance project with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality. The verified emissions reductions (127,226 tCO₂) match the claimed figure exactly, and no material findings were reported. However, the absence of FPIC, a missing buffer pool, an empty section in the monitoring report, and several unresolved corrective actions temper confidence in the project's documentation and safeguards.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

    Source: project sector

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.
