Audit Analysis

The Çaypınar Wind Farm is a Gold Standard wind project with a solid investment-test additionality confirmed by the VVB, a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline, and no reported reversal events. However, nine documented contradictions across the project record—including a more-than-doubling of the verified ERR relative to the PDD estimate and conflicting baseline-method descriptions within the same monitoring report—undermine confidence in the data chain. CORSIA eligibility introduces a dual-channel risk that is not offset by a stated CCP exclusion.

Red Flags

  • Verified ERR of 115,278 tCO₂e for the 2024 monitoring period is more than double the PDD's total ex-ante estimate of 54,448 tCO₂e, raising over-crediting or scope-mismatch concerns
  • The same monitoring report (2024-10-27) describes the baseline as both 'jurisdictional' and 'project-specific', an internal inconsistency that weakens baseline credibility
  • CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not mentioned, leaving the dual-channel risk unaddressed
  • Grid emission factor of 0.6482 tCO₂/MWh is drawn from 2019 data; no updated factor or sensitivity analysis is documented
