ISO 14064-2 GHG emissions additionality. GHG emission mitigations are additional to the baseline scenario.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project implements actions that go beyond statutory requirements.

Level 2a additionality

Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project implements climate actions that are subject to barriers to implementation or accelerates deployment of technology or activities.

Level 3 additionality

Policy additionality. Project implementation goes beyond its host country's climate objectives.

Level 5 additionality

Asia

The International Carbon Registry operates an international greenhouse gas program for the registration of climate projects and issuance of high-integrity carbon credits.

GURES Biomass Energy Plant

Thermal energy production with or without electricity

The proposed Project is a waste to power project that will generate renewable energy by capturing methane from agricultural waste and utilizing it to produce thermal and electric energy through gas engine systems. By supplying renewable energy generated at the plant to the national grid, the proposed Project will contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix and the proportion of the population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technology.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

The demand for food and electric energy is rapidly increasing in Turkey for various reasons, such as industrialization, urbanization, economic development, and population growth. The country's external dependence on agricultural products has intensified because the increasing demand cannot be met by a decreasing domestic agricultural production capacity which is due to several reasons, such as shrinkage of agricultural land, increasing migration to urban spaces from rural areas where agricultural production is densely located, and dramatic increase in the cost of inputs for agricultural production. Therewithal, Turkey, which cannot meet its increasing electricity demand due to the deprivation of conventional resources used to generate energy, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, has also become foreign-dependent on energy. Through its implementation, the proposed project activity will contribute to reducing Turkey's foreign dependency by generating renewable energy out of municipal wastes. In addition, as an biomass fueled renewable energy technology implementation, the proposed project activity will achieve higher levels of economic productivity; hence, increasing the annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person. Moreover, it will increase the region's employment capacity while decreasing the unemployment rate.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The proposed project activity will reduce GHG emissions by capturing and utilizing methane, one of the most potent GHGs triggering climate change. It is estimated that the average annual emission reduction that the proposed Project will generate is around 30,064 (tCO2e). 

SDG 13: Climate Action

Energy industries

GÜRES Tavukçuluk Üretim Pazarlama ve Ticaret A.Ş. has established an Electric Energy (2,3 MWe) Production Facility by Burning Biomass from Poultry Farming in Saruhanlı District of Manisa Province in order to utilize the biomass wastes resulting from the production in the livestock sector as fuel in accordance with the integrated production policy it carries out, thus reducing the dependence on fossil fuels in the energy needs of the facility, both to meet the energy used within the Group and to contribute to the national energy sector by obtaining energy from waste. The project is a cogeneration system and produces heat energy (6,00 MWt) as well as electricity. Project aims to have 30.064 tons of emission reduction yearly.
