MARDIN LFG POWER PLANT
#47of 295 in Turkey#99of 1339 in Verra (VCS)#9of 159 in ACM0001
Audit Analysis
The Mardin LFG Power Plant is a VCS-registered landfill gas energy project with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by the VVB, but it carries moderate risks from a project-specific modeled baseline, a thin leakage justification, and several operational deviations (calibration frequency, unrecorded temperatures) that were corrected conservatively. The project delivered roughly 40% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting rather than over-claiming.
Red Flags
- Gas analyzer calibration frequency was 2–3 years instead of the required 6 months, indicating a significant operational monitoring gap (verification report, 2025).
- Leakage was deemed negligible with a 0% deduction, yet the validation report (2023) recorded leakage as 'not addressed' — the justification is thin and inconsistent across documents.
- A flowmeter for flare gas measurement was not installed and was raised as a finding for future verifications, meaning a portion of gas losses may be unmonitored.
