Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project - 6

Audit Analysis

The Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project is a well-established project type using standard methodologies (ACM0001, ACM0022), with a combined additionality test and no material findings reported in the PDD. However, the available evidence is limited to a single PDD document; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification is present, making it impossible to confirm additionality verification, compare claimed versus verified emissions reductions, or assess the project's actual performance over the roughly two-and-a-half years since the crediting period began in June 2021.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification report or monitoring report is available in the extracted record; only the PDD (dated 2023-12-11) was used, leaving the project's actual performance unverified
• ⚠The VVB identity is not stated in any available document, so the independence and competence of the verifying body cannot be assessed
• ⚠No verified emissions reduction figures exist to compare against the 1,973,460 tCO₂e lifetime claim, making over- or under-delivery impossible to evaluate
• ⚠Buffer pool arrangement is not stated in the PDD, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a 15-year crediting period
