Project Brief

The project activity “Kahramanmaras Landfill Gas to Energy Project” encompasses collection and destruction/utilization of landfill gas (LFG) at the landfill named Kahramanmaras, which is owned and operated by the solid waste management company Ozturk Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret A.S. 

The main objective of the project activity is to avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of methane (CH4) into the atmosphere through efficient collection and destruction of LFG by flaring and also through its utilization for electricity generation, thus promoting GHG emission reductions. Moreover, since share of collected LFG will be utilized as fuel for electricity generation in an electricity generation facility with an initial nameplate power generation capacity of 4.8 MW, the project activity will also incur in displacement of electricity generated from fossil fuel sources.

Earthood was contracted by Öztürk Enerji Anonim Şirketi for verification of project activity Kahramanmaras Landfill Gas to Energy Project in Turkiye. The verification was performed in accordance with the GCC Project standard, GCC program manual and host country criteria, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting.

The project activity is an LFG to Energy project, which results in reductions of CO2e emissions that are real, measurable and give long-term benefits to the mitigation of climate change. It is demonstrated that the project is not a likely baseline scenario and the emission reductions attributable to the project are, hence, additional to any that would occur in the absence of the project activity. The project correctly applied ACM0001: Flaring or use of landfill gas (version 19.0)

The project activity is likely to achieve the anticipated emission reductions stated in the PSF provided the underlying assumptions do not change. The expected emission reductions (annual average) from the project activity are estimated to be 84,934 tCO2e/year over the 10-year crediting period starting from 21/10/2016.

Earthood has informed the project owners of the verification outcome through the draft verification report and final verification report. The final verification report contains the information with regard to the fulfilment of the requirements for verification, as appropriate.

Earthood applied the following verification process and methodology using a competent verification team;

·       the desk review of documents and evidence submitted by the project owner in the context of the reference GCC rules and guidelines issued

·       undertaking/conducting site visit, interview or interactions with the representative of the project  owner

·       reporting audit findings with respect to clarifications and non-conformities and the closure of the findings, as appropriate

·       preparing a draft verification opinion based on the auditing findings and conclusions.

·       technical review of the draft verification opinion along with other documents as appropriate by an independent competenttechnical review team

·       finalization of the verification opinion (this report)

 

 

Earthood has verified and hereby certifies that the GCC Project activity Kahramanmaras Landfill Gas to Energy Project :

i.             has correctly described the project activity in the Project Submission Form (version 11.0, dated 15/04/2026) including the applicability of the approved methodologies ACM0001 Version 19, meets the methodology applicability conditions, is additional and is expected to achieve the forecasted real and additional GHG emission reductions, complies with the monitoring methodology, has appropriately conducted local and global stakeholder consultation processes and has calculated emission reduction estimates correctively and conservatively.

ii.           Is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to an annual average of 84,934 tCO2e/ year  and a total of 849,337 tCO2e over the 10 year crediting period as indicated in the PSF, which are additional to the reductions that are likely to occur in the absence of the project activity and complies with all the applicable GCC rules including ISO 14064-2 and ISO 14064-3, and therefore requests GCC Program to register the Project Activity.

iii.         It is not likely to cause any net-harm to the environment and/ or society and complies with the Environmental andSocial Safeguards Standard, and therefore requests the GCC Program to register the Project Activity, which is likely toachieve the requirements of the Environmental No net harm Label (E+) and the Social No-net-harm Label (S+); and

iv.        is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard, and contribute to achieving a total of 3 SDGs, which is likely to achieve the Gold SDG certification label (SDG+)

v.        is likely to contribute to CORSIA Eligible Emission Units and has CORSIA Label (C+) certification valid till 31 December 2020. A written attestation from the Host country on double counting is not required until 31 December 2020 and the project was found to meet theapplicable requirements prescribed by ICAO.
