Electrical Hydrant Dispensers at İstanbul Airport

Audit Analysis

The İstanbul Airport electrical hydrant dispenser project is a straightforward avoidance-type electrification credit under the AMS-III.C methodology, with VVB-confirmed additionality and no inherent reversal risk. However, multiple data contradictions across documents (grid emission factor, ERR figures, benefit sharing) and a low extraction confidence level raise meaningful questions about the robustness of the underlying calculations. The project is functional but carries moderate data-reliability risk that should be resolved before credits are retired.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Grid emission factor discrepancy: the validation report uses 0.44 tCO₂/MWh while an appendix cites 0.7424 tCO₂/MWh; a corrective action was raised to align with the Ministry of Energy publication, but the source of the 0.7424 figure is unexplained
• ⚠Total ERR contradiction: the validation report states 3,003 tCO₂e while an appendix shows 2,240 tCO₂e, a 34% gap that is not reconciled in the available record
• ⚠Benefit-sharing contradiction: the PDD (June 2024) describes a benefit-sharing arrangement, but the validation report (August 2024) records that none is described
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
