Audit Analysis

The Kantur-Akdaş Landfill Methane Recovery Project is a well-structured landfill gas capture project under the established ACM0001 methodology, with a reasonable combined additionality test and appropriate treatment of leakage and reversal for this project type. However, the available record contains only a single PDD document with no verification reports, no monitoring data, and no named VVB, leaving the project's actual performance and compliance unverified. The project-specific baseline and absence of any verified emission reduction figures limit confidence in the claimed 911,532 tCO₂e over the 10-year crediting period.

Red Flags

  • No verification report or monitoring report is present in the record despite the project having been active since May 2020; the only document is a PDD dated December 2023.
  • No VVB is named and additionality verification status is not stated, leaving the combined additionality test unconfirmed by an independent body.
  • Total verified ERR is not available, making it impossible to assess whether the project is delivering on its claimed 911,532 tCO₂e lifetime estimate.
