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

Financial additionality. Carbon credit revenues maintain the projects operations.

Level 4a 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.

Grid connected renewable electricity generation

In order to calculate wastewater avoidance from the facility (by taking cooling water discharge in thermal power plants into account), the first step is to calculate a factor showing estimated wastewater discharge per GWh generated electricity. This factor is derived by dividing “Total Waste Water Discharged by Thermal Power Plants in the related year (2012 in this case)” with “Total Electricity Generation in 2012 (GWh) in the related year in GWh”. Then, the wastewater discharge in the baseline scenario is reached by multiplying this factor with the estimated electricity generation of the WPP. This output also refers to Avoided Wastewater Discharge Amount. 

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

The project increases the renewable energy share in Türkiye’s energy production mix. It provides 25,800 MWh annual clean energy to the grid. The hydro power plant directly contributes to the SDG target, because the project activity delivers renewable energy which would otherwise be provided by fossil-fuel dominated grid-connected power plants. 

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

The project activity has created 12 permanent jobs in the renewable energy sector with contribution to the local economy as many employees are from the local community. During the construction phase, the project activity provided short-term employment to many people. The project activity directly contributes to the achievement of the SDG target because it promotes the increase of employment opportunities for the local community and crease short and long-term employment to dozens of workers, while providing a safe working environment.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The project activity directly contributes to the targeted SDG by achieving annually 24,589 t CO2 of emissions through clean energy generation and displacing emission intensive energy in the national grid. The project activity involves the installation of a hydropower plant with 6.866 MWe of total installed capacity. With this capacity, the project activity reduces 24,589 t CO2 per year. The project contributes to climate change mitigation by displacing fossil fuels while meeting the host country’s growing energy demand. The impact is measured via the calculation of ERy emission reductions per year, in line with the applied methodology.

SDG 13: Climate Action

Energy industries

The project is a greenfield hydropower plant with an installed capacity of 11.143 MWe. The start date of project is 29/03/2013 that is the starting date of the operation.  The installed capacity is 11.446 MWm/ 11,143 MWe. The project started generating electricity and feeding it into the national grid on 29/03/2013. The project is located at the Namnam River in Fethiye district, in Muğla Province with connection to the Muğla transformer center through a transmission line. 
The project is expected to generate 44,289 MWh   of clean energy per annum. The estimated CO2 emission reductions is 24,589 tCO2e. The total crediting period of the project activity is 10 years and the corresponding emission reductions for the whole period is 245,890 tCO2e. The project’s monitoring period is between 29/03/2013 to 28/03/2023– both days included.
