Audit Analysis

The Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project - 3 is a CDM-methodology landfill gas project registered in the ICR with a 10-year crediting period starting in 2017. The PDD describes a combined additionality test, quantified leakage, and no material findings, but the available record contains only the PDD — no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification — leaving critical compliance and performance questions unanswered.

Red Flags

  • No verification report or monitoring report is present in the extracted record; the project has been in its crediting period since February 2017 yet no verified emission reduction figures or monitoring period data are available.
  • No VVB (Validation/Verification Body) is named in the PDD, and additionality verification by an independent body is not confirmed.
  • No buffer pool percentage is stated, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a project that has been operating since 2017.
  • The FNRB (fossil net replacement benefit) value and usage rate are not stated, making it impossible to assess whether the claimed 123,211 tCO₂e lifetime figure is conservative.
