Audit Analysis
The Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project is a Turkey-based landfill gas capture project under ICR with a 10-year crediting period (2017–2027). The PDD documents a combined additionality test, quantified leakage treatment, and smart-meter usage monitoring, but the absence of any verification report, monitoring report, or named VVB leaves critical compliance and performance data unverified. The project-specific baseline and lack of verified emission reduction figures limit confidence in the claimed 353,240 tCO₂e.
Red Flags
- No verification report or monitoring report found in the extracted record; only the PDD (2023-12-11) is available, leaving all performance and compliance claims unverified
- No VVB (Validation/Verification Body) is named in any available document, making it impossible to confirm independent third-party review
- Baseline is project-specific with no reassessment date stated, reducing robustness compared to a jurisdictional or standardised baseline
- Leakage is described as quantified in the PDD but the actual deduction percentage is not stated in the extracted record
