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

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

Financial additionality. Carbon credit revenues maintain the projects operations.

Level 4a 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.

Flaring or use of landfill gas

108,955 MWh/annum clean energy generated from the project activity and supplied to the grid over a period will result in increasing the renewable energy share in total grid energy consumption

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Around 10 numbers of people will be employed within the crediting period.	Employment under the project activity has resulted in reduction of proportion of un-employment

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The project activity is expected to result in avoidance of 91,153 tCO2e per annum.	Project activity results in avoidance of GHG emission by capturing and using of LFG for power generation which would otherwise being released to the atmosphere. The project through generation and supply of renewable electricity to the grid will avoid generation of equivalent quantum of grid electricity from fossil fuel-based power plant. 

SDG 13: Climate Action

Waste handling and disposal

The carbon development project under review involves the establishment of a 15.565 MWe Landfill Gas (LFG) Plant in Ankara, Turkey. Commissioned in 2020 KANTUR-AKDAŞ İnş. Gıda Paz. San. ve Ticaret A.Ş., the project aims to harness the potential of landfill gas as a renewable energy source. Situated in Ankara, the project not only contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also brings several benefits to the local community, such as job creation, improved air quality, and enhanced energy security. The project serves as a noteworthy example of sustainable development, highlighting the positive impact of utilizing landfill gas for the benefit of the local population and the environment. Project aims to have 91,153 tCO2e average emission reductions annually and cumulative emission reduction of 911,532 tCO2e over the crediting period.
