GIRESUN LANDFILL GAS (LFG) PROJECT

Audit Analysis
The Giresun LFG project is a standard landfill gas-to-energy project under VCS methodology ACM0001 v19.0 with VVB-confirmed additionality and a 7-year crediting period. However, the available record contains only a validation report and PDD with no monitoring data, low extraction confidence, and two inter-document contradictions (FPIC status and leakage justification) that reduce confidence in the overall evidence base.
Red Flags
- No monitoring reports or verified emissions data found in the extracted record — the project has been in its crediting period since April 2021 but no MRV evidence is available
- FPIC contradiction: the validation report (June 2025) states FPIC was not conducted, while the PDD (January 2023) indicates it was; the more recent and authoritative validation report is privileged
- Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning key details may have been missed or misread
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
