Audit Analysis
The Konya Aslim landfill gas project has VVB-confirmed additionality and a measured baseline, but suffers from a significant contradiction in ex-ante lifetime emission reduction figures (141,751 vs 537,953 tCO₂e), no buffer pool or permanence mechanism, and reversal risk that was not addressed. The 0% leakage deduction is defensible for a landfill gas capture project, and no outstanding corrective actions remain, but the data inconsistencies and missing permanence safeguards limit confidence in the credit's integrity.
Red Flags
- Major contradiction in ex-ante lifetime ERR: the PDD (2014) states 537,953 tCO₂e while the monitoring report (2014) states 141,751 tCO₂e — a 3.8× discrepancy that undermines confidence in the baseline quantification
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented, and reversal events are explicitly 'not addressed' in the verification report
- 17 Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation (inconsistencies in capacity, meter accuracy, sustainability indicators, LFG capture efficiency, CH₄ fraction values), indicating initial documentation quality issues
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
