Standard
This project is seeking retroactive registration with the Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reduction (GS VER) credits stream. The project completed the Initial Stakeholder Consultation in June 2008 and was submitted for pre-feasibility assessment to the Gold Standard in August 2008. As Turkey is not eligible for hosting either Clean Development Mechanism or Joint Implementation, only the voluntary route is available for emission reduction projects in Turkey. Listed Project no. GS 503
Baseline Methodology
The baseline carbon emission factor was calculated using UNFCCC consolidated methodology ACM0002. The baseline is currently under validation with the accredited designated operational (DOE) entity TÜV Nord.
Additionality
The additionality is demonstrated using the “CDM Tool for Additionality”. The barrier analysis method was chosen and is under validation by TÜV Nord.
