Audit Analysis
The Kütahya Landfill Gas to Electricity Project is a well-established LFG-to-power credit type with VVB-confirmed additionality, no reversal events, and no material findings. However, six contradictions across the project documents — including a significant discrepancy between the PDD's claimed ERR (94,653 tCO₂e) and the monitoring report's figure (58,885 tCO₂e), conflicting statements on FPIC, leakage treatment, and baseline characterisation — materially reduce confidence in the data record. The project is fundamentally sound but the documentation inconsistencies warrant caution.
Red Flags
- ERR contradiction: the PDD (Mar 2025) claims 94,653 tCO₂e while the monitoring report (Feb 2025) reports 58,885 tCO₂e for the same monitoring period; the verification report (Jun 2024) confirms 94,653, leaving the true verified figure ambiguous
- FPIC status is contradictory: the validation report (Apr 2025) states FPIC was conducted, but the issuance document (Feb 2025) records it as not conducted
- Leakage treatment is inconsistent: the monitoring report (Feb 2025) justifies a 0% deduction as 'deemed negligible', yet the validation report (Apr 2025) records leakage as 'not addressed'
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
