SECTION A. Description of project activity

A.1. General description of project activity

>> Landfill is a significant source of global warming as it contains a high share of methane (CH4), which is a potent greenhouse gas. The Kocaeli Landfill Gas to Electricity Project contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas through destruction and avoidance of methane in the landfill area. The project activity developed by Körfez Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, is a landfill gas recovery and utilization project at the site of Solaklar Landfill Area in Solaklar District, Kocaeli Province, Turkey. Solaklar Landfill Area has been built in 1997 as a sanitary landfill area under the responsibility of İZAYDAŞ and is the biggest landfill area in Kocaeli Municipality. On 13/07/2010, İZAYDAŞ has transferred the right of use of the closed lots to the Project Participant. The Project Participant has the right to recover the landfill gas and generate electricity by utilization of the LFG from the closed lots. On 22/03/2011 the construction has started and started operation on 01/03/2012 and is operational since then. The project activity is planned to destroy methane through landfill gas extraction from the landfill area. The landfill gas is furthermore used for the purpose of electricity generation via gas engines. The electricity generated is delivered to the national grid system, substituting the baseline energy fuel which is mainly based on fossil fuels. Brief description of the installed technology and equipment: The proposed project activity involves: - Gradual covering of the landfill - A gas extraction system which can support gas engines for electricity generation - A flaring system - Gas engines During the fourth monitoring period from 01/01/2016 – 31/05/2017, the total emission reduction achieved is 249,919 tCO2eq.

VER Site operating team is responsible for the quality management, which ensures the quality and accuracy of the measured data. For quality management, the following things are included; data records and data storage, equipment calibration and maintenance, corrective action and emergency procedures for unintended emissions.The amount of methane captured will be determined by continuous measurements from flow meter and gas analyser. The electricity meters are bi directional and measure both the electricity generated by the project activity and the electricity consumed by the facility. The meters are sealed by the electricity distribution/transmission company and the Project Participant cannot intervene with the devices. Electricity meter is subject to regular (in accordance with stipulation of the meter supplier) maintenance and testing to ensure accuracy. The readings is checked by the electricity distribution company. Electricity distribution company submits monthly a protocol to the project owner. The monthly electricity data are transferred to the excel sheet used for the emission reduction calculations. The calculation of GS VERs for the monitoring period is carried out through a separate

spreadsheet. The project owner is Körfez Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi and therefore

responsible for the operation and the monitoring of the project activities. Simplified monitoring diagram is as follows

>> There are no data or parameter determined by a sampling approach.

SECTION E. Calculation of emission reductions or net anthropogenic removals

E.1. Calculation of baseline emissions or baseline net removals

>> The emission reductions resulting from the proposed project are calculated according to ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 15.0. According to the referred methodology the emission reductions are calculated with the following equation:

Yyy PEBEER (1)6

Where: ERy Emission reductions in year y (tCO2e/year) BEy Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e/year) PEy Project emissions in year y (tCO2e/year)

Baseline emissions In accordance with ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 15.0, baseline emissions should comprise the following sources:

A) Methane emissions from the SWDS in the absence of the project activity; B) Electricity generation using fossil fuels or supplied by the grid in the absence of project

activity; C) Heat generation using fossil fuels in the absence of project activity; and D) Natural gas used from the natural gas network in the absence of the project activity.

Since there are no heat generation or natural gas usage in the baseline scenario, only baseline emissions from methane emissions from SWDS (A) and electricity generation (B) will be taken into account7. The baseline emissions are calculated as follows:

Step (A): Baseline emissions of methane from the SWDS (BECH4,y) Baseline emissions of methane from the SWDS are determined as follows, based on the amount of methane that is captured under the project activity and the amount that would be captured and destroyed in the baseline. In addition, the effect of methane oxidation that is present in the baseline and absent in the project is taken into account.

7 This approach will be applied to each equation applicable.




CDM-MR-FORM

Version 06.0 of 28

The tool provides procedures to determine the following parameter:

Parameter SI Unit Description

Fi,t11 kg/h Mass flow of greenhouse gas i (CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6 or a PFC) in the

gaseous stream in time interval t.

The mass flow of CH4 in LFG is determined through measurement of the flow and volumetric fraction of the gaseous stream (LFG). The “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” version 03.0 provides 6 different ways to make these measurements and the corresponding calculation option for Fi,t. Table 12 Measurement options for Fi,t

Option Flow of Gaseus Stream Volumetric Fraction

A Volume flow-dry basis Dry or wet basis

B Volume flow-wet basis Dry basis

C Volume flow-wet basis Wet basis

D Mass flow-dry basis Dry or wet basis

E Mass flow-wet basis Dry basis

F Mass flow-wet basis Wet basis

Option A is applied in the proposed project activity. Since option B and E have not been selected as an option, the absolute humidity of the gaseous stream will not be determined. Option A: According to the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” version 03.0.0, flow measurement on a dry measurement is not doable for a wet gaseous stream. Therefore it will be demonstrated that the temperature of the gaseous stream (Tt) is less than 600C (333.15 K) at the flow measurement point. The mass flow of CH4 (FCH4,t)

The parameter (Fi,t) under the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in gaseous stream” corresponds to the parameter (FCH4,EL,y) under ACM0001.

In line with the requirements of ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 15.0, FCH4,sent flare,y is determined directly using the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” using option A as described under the relevant tool17. In accordance with the requirements of ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 15.0, PEflare,y will be determined using the “Project emissions from flaring”. If the LFG is flared through more than one flare, then PEflare,y is the sum of the emissions for each flare determined separately. In accordance with the requirements of the “Project emissions from flaring”, In the case of enclosed flares, project participants may choose between the following two options to determine the flare efficiency (nflare,).

A) Apply a default value for flare efficiency B) Measure the flare efficiency

The PP opts to apply the default value for flare efficiency. According to the tool, the flare efficiency for the minute m (nflare) is 90% when the following two conditions are met to demonstrate that the flare is operating:

(1) The temperature of the flare (TEG) and the flow rate of the residual gas to the flare (FRG) is within the manufactuırers specifications for the flare (SPECflare); and

(2) The flame is detected (Flame). Otherwise the (nflare,) is 0%

Step A.2: Determination of FCH4,BL,y The situation at the start of the project activity falls under case 1 since there are no legal requirements in Turkey to destroy methane and the LFG was not captured prior to the proposed project activity. Therefore: FCH4,BL,y=0 Step B: Baseline emissions associated with electricity generation (BEEC,y) The baseline emissions associated with electricity generation in year y (BEEC,y) is calculated in accordance with the “Tool to calculate baseline, project and leakage emissions from electricity consumption” version 2. The electricity source k in the tool corresponds to the sources of electricity generated by the grid, which is identified as the most plausible baseline scenario. ECBL,k,y in the tool is equivalent to the net amount of electricity generated using LFG in year y. Generic approach In the generic approach, baseline emissions from consumption of electricity are calculated based on the quantity of electricity consumed, an emission factor for electricity generation and a factor to account for transmission losses, as follows:

In LFG project activities a difference in the estimated and actual emission reductions are expected and natural since and could be based on several reasons, which in this case: The ex-ante estimations are based on FOD modelling, which involves several default values such as the “collection efficiency”, which by default is 50%, a MCF value of 1 by default and a “correction factor” of 0.75 etc. All these default values (in accordance with the applicable too land methodology) provide a rough ex ante estimation which is impossible to match exactly with ex-post
