Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project - 8
#522of 770 in Renewable energy#8of 14 in TR#11of 32 in Intl. Carbon Registry (ICR)#48of 53 in ACM0001
Audit Analysis
The Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project is a 10-year landfill gas capture project under the ICR registry with a combined additionality test and no material findings, but the available record consists solely of a PDD with no verification or monitoring reports. Permanence treatment is weak for a landfill gas project (reversal marked 'Not applicable', no buffer pool), and the 0% leakage deduction rests on a thin 'deemed negligible' justification. The absence of any verified emission reduction figures or VVB identity significantly limits the ability to confirm claim safety.
Red Flags
- Reversal events are marked 'Not applicable' in the PDD (Section 8.3), which is questionable for a landfill gas project where methane release resumes if operations cease
- No buffer pool or equivalent permanence mechanism is identified in the available record
- No verification report or monitoring report is available despite the project having been operational since June 2021
- VVB identity is not stated in the extracted record, leaving additionality verification unconfirmed
