SECTION A. Description of project activity

A.1. Purpose and 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 A.Ş., 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 area

- a gas extraction system which can support gas engines for electricity generation

- a flaring system

- gas engines

During the first monitoring period from 01/03/2012 – 30/06/2013, the total emission reduction achieved is 74,208 tCO2eq.

SECTION B. Implementation of project activity

B.1. Description of implemented registered project activity

Currently the project is operational with two sets of gas engines with a total capacity of 2.23 MW installed capacity. One of the installed engines is MWM TCG2020 v12 type engine4 manufactured by the German Company MWM GmbH, and the second engine is Jenbacher Type 3 J320 GS engine5 manufactured by GE. Both engines are dedicated to LFG utilization. At the time of PDD development, it was envisaged that two set MWM engine with an approximate capacity of 1.2 MW (depending on the availability of the LFG) will be installed. The PP has decided to install Jenbacher Type 3 J320 GS engine of 1 MW instead of the second engine. The total capacity of the project activity is still lower than the mentioned capacity under the PDD and the Generation License.

The most important milestones of project activity are summarised as follows:

Table 1. Important milestones of the project activity

30/06/2013 End of first monitoring period

There has been no major incident or failure of equipment throughout the monitoring period.

Description of the LFG activity:

The landfill gas is collected with the horizontal channels and vertical wells in the landfill. These two different methods horizontal and vertical collection are explained in detail below:

The first one is the collection of the LFG with series of vertical wells, which helps the collection of the LFG from deep points in the landfill body. Wells are drilled till to a certain depth and then HDPE pipes are installed to the holes. After the installation of each well, the collected LFG via wells will be transferred to the main collection system.

The second system is the horizontal collection system, which intercept LFG migrating offsite in the subsurface. Vertical wells are installed at the horizontal pipe to convey the gas.

Active gas collection system is applied for degassing of the landfill. The main pipe is connected to the intake pipe of the landfill gas blower and the outgoing pipe from the blower is then finally connected to the LFG utilization system.

B.2. Post registration changes

B.2.1. Temporary deviations from registered monitoring plan or applied methodology

There are no temporary deviations from the registered monitoring plan or applied methodology within this monitoring period.

3 The technical capacity of both engines add up to 1,200 kWe (MWM) + 1,063 kWe (Jenbacher) = 2,263 kWe according to the specifications provided by the manufacturers.

B.2.2. Corrections

Under the registered PDD, the calibration frequency of ID.25 “Temperature of the gaseous stream”; ID.26 “Net amount of electricity generated using LFG”; ID.27 “Quantity of electricity consumed” are set as follows:

“Calibration and frequency of calibration is according to manufacturer’s specifications”.

However during the monitoring plan it was not possible for the PP to retrieve calibration frequencies from the manufacturers (for ID.25) or the calibration practices within the context of regulatory requirements were not suitable to follow as stated under the registered PDD (ID.26 and ID.27). Therefore the calibration frequencies for ID.25, ID.26 and ID.27 has been revised as follows:

“In accordance with the “Regulation on “Measurement and Measuring Tools”, the meters have to be calibrated within a frequency of once per 10 years”.

B.2.3. Permanent changes from registered monitoring plan or applied methodology

There are no permanent changes from the registered monitoring plan or applied methodology within this monitoring period.

B.2.4. Changes to project design of registered project activity

There are no changes to project design of registered project activity within this monitoring period.

B.2.5. Changes to start date of crediting period

There are no changes to start date of crediting period.

B.2.6. Types of changes specific to afforestation or reforestation project activity

This section is not applicable to the project activity.

SECTION C. Description of monitoring system

The monitoring system has been developed in a way to cover all the procedures required as per the approved methodology ACM0001 validated monitoring plan.

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. The Grid 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 first monitoring period is carried out through a separate spreadsheet. The project owner is Körfez Enerji A.Ş. and therefore responsible for the operation and the monitoring of the project activities. The data is archived and stored electronically during the crediting period and two years after. Roles and responsibilities Mr Serdar Eruysal is responsible for the site and the system while the VER team is managed by Mr. Fethullah Demircan. Involvement of Third Parties Support and consultancy regarding the development of monitoring report is provided by Ömer Akyürek (OakDanışmanlık) in association with Mr. Hinrich Bornebusch (Ecoblu). Internal audits and control measures There are daily checks if the data from the day before was stored successfully on the servers. Aggregation of data and cross checks takes place periodically.

E.1. Calculation of baseline emissions or baseline net GHG removals by sinks

The emission reductions resulting from the proposed project are calculated according to ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 12.0.0.

According to the referred methodology the emission reductions are calculated with the following equation:

Yyy PEBEER −= (1)12

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 12.0.0, baseline emissions are calculated as follows:

yECyCHy BEBEBE ,,4+=

Where:

BEy Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e/yr)

BECH4,y Baseline emissions of methane from SWDS in year y (tCO2e/yr)

BEEC,y Baseline emissions associated with electricity generation in year y (tCO2eq/yr)

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.

FCH4,EL,y Amount of methane in the LFG which is used for electricity generation in year y (tCH4/yr)

The amount of methane destroyed by electricity generation (FCH4,EL,y)

FCH4,PJ,y is determined using the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” version 02.0.0.

The tool provides procedures to determine the following parameter: Parameter SI Unit Description Fi,t

16 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 02.0.0 provides 6 different ways to make these measurements and the corresponding calculation option for Fi,t.

Table 2 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.

Option A:

According to the “Tool to determine the mass flow of a greenhouse gas in a gaseous stream” version 02.0.0, 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)17 is determined as follows:

In line with the requirements of ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 12.0.0, 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 tool20.

In accordance with the requirements of ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 12.0.0, PEflare,y will be determined using the “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane”. If the LFG is flared through more than one flare, then PEflare,y is the sum of the emissions for each flare determined separately.

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 1. 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:

∑ +=k

ykykELykBLyEC TDLEFECBE )1(** ,,,,,, (12) 24

Where: BEEC,y Baseline emissions from electricity consumption in year y (tCO2e/yr) ECBL,k,y Net amount of electricity generated using LFG in year y (MWh/yr) EFEL,k,y Emission factor for electricity generation source k in year y ((tCO2e/MWh) TDLk,y Average technical and transmission and distribution losses for providing electricity to

source k in year y k the sources of electricity generated by the grid

Determination of the emission factor for electricity generation (EFEL,k,y)

The emission for electricity generation is calculated ex-post as 0.542 tCO2eq/MWh and has been fixed through the first crediting period.

E.2. Calculation of project emissions or actual net GHG removals by sinks

In accordance with ACM0001 “Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas” version 12.0.0, the project emissions are calculated as follows:

yECy PEPE ,= (17) 25

Where: PEEC,y Emission from consumption of electricity due to the project activity in year y (tCO2e/yr).

Since there are no consumption of fossil fuels due to the project activity, for the purpose other than electricity generation, there are no emissions from fossil fuel consumption and therefore PEFC,y is equal to “0” and has not been included in equation (17).

The project emissions from consumption of electricity by the project activity PEEC,y shall be calculated using the “Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption” version 1. When applying the tool, electricity sources j in the tool corresponds to the sources of electricity consumed due to the project activity.
