Analysis

The Kocaeli Landfill Gas to Electricity Project is a long-running Gold Standard project (operating since 2012) with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversal events, but it is undermined by a 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justifications, the absence of a buffer pool, and an extensive list of corrective actions and material findings that raise concerns about data quality and reporting rigour. Several key parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) are not stated in the available documents, limiting the ability to fully assess claim safety.

Being within an ICVCM-approved version range is information only: it does not mean these credits carry the CCP label, which the registry assigns to each issuance.

A version is shown only when the document's own text writes it next to the methodology code. Current versions, status and CCP ranges come from the official pages linked, checked on the date shown.
