Audit Analysis

The Sinop Landfill Gas to Electricity Project is a standard AMS-III.G methane recovery project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable baseline for its project type. The project delivered approximately 71% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating mild under-delivery but no over-crediting risk. Documentation is present but carries a notable number of editorial corrections and a medium extraction confidence, tempering overall confidence.

Red Flags

  • FNRB value and method are not stated in the extracted record, creating a gap in the emission factor chain
  • FPIC status is contradictory between the verification report (conducted) and the monitoring report (not conducted); the verification report is privileged as the higher-authority document
  • 12 material findings and 13 corrective actions were identified in the verification report, mostly editorial but indicating quality-control weaknesses in the project documentation
