EMIN BIOGAS PP KIRSEHIR

Audit Analysis

The Emin Biogas project in Turkey has VVB-confirmed additionality and no material findings, but is undermined by a 98% discrepancy between two PDD versions on lifetime emissions reductions, contradictory leakage justifications, and a project-specific baseline with no stated reassessment. The verified ERR exactly matches the revised (much lower) claimed figure, raising questions about whether the verification independently validated the calculation or simply confirmed the proponent's number.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Lifetime ERR dropped from 2,746,992 tCO2e (2022 PDD) to 47,760 tCO2e (2025 PDD) — a 98% reduction with no documented explanation in the extracted record
• ⚠Verified ERR (47,760) is identical to the revised claimed ERR, suggesting the verification may have rubber-stamped the proponent's figure rather than independently recalculating
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the verification report (Feb 2025) states it was 'quantified' while the validation report (Jan 2025) states it was 'not addressed'
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage or permanence mechanism is stated in any available document for a project with a 5-7 year crediting period
• ⚠Crediting period is inconsistent across documents: 5 years (monitoring report, 2021) vs 7 years (validation report, Jan 2025)
