Audit Analysis
The Kartal Wind Power Project is a Gold Standard wind project in Turkey with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal events, but it carries moderate risk from a project-specific baseline, a missing verified ERR figure, and a claimed emission reduction that is roughly three times the pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period. Documentation is adequate but several key verification fields remain unreported.
Red Flags
- Total verified ERR is not found in any available document, making it impossible to independently confirm the 124,496 tCO2 claimed in the monitoring report
- The claimed 124,496 tCO2 for a 6-month monitoring period is approximately 294% of the pro-rata expectation derived from the 423,015 tCO2 lifetime ex-ante estimate over a 5-year crediting period, raising a question about whether the ex-ante estimate was conservative or the monitoring period captured an unusually high-wind period
- Baseline methodology is inconsistent across documents: the validation report (Dec 2021) states a project-specific baseline while the PDD (Aug 2021) references a jurisdictional baseline
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
