RINA Services S.p.A. (RINA), commissioned by OneCarbon International B.V., has verified the greenhouse gas emission reductions reported for the project activity “Mamak Landfill Waste Management Project – Turkey” in Turkey, GS Registration Reference N° 440, for the period 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2012, with regard to the relevant requirements for CDM and GS activities. The verification shall ensure that reported emission reductions are complete and accurate in accordance with applicable GS VER requirements, which refer to CDM rules, in order to be certified. The project was validated by TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH (validation report N° 1175 963-GS revision 3 issued on 21/04/2009) and it was registered on 27/04/2009 under the GS registration reference N° 440. The GHG emission reductions were calculated on the basis of the approved methodology ACM0001, version 08.1, “Consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology for landfill gas project activities” of 16/05/2008, AM0025, version 10, “Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes” of 19/10/2007 and the monitoring plan included in the registered Project Design Document, version 07 of 20/04/2009. In conclusion, it is RINA’s opinion that the project activity “Mamak Landfill Waste Management Project – Turkey”, in “Turkey”, as described in the Monitoring Report version 4.4 of 28/08/2012, meets all relevant requirements for GS and CDM activities and all relevant host Party criteria and correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0001, version 08.1, “Consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology for landfill gas project activities” of 16/05/2008, AM0025, version 10, “Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes” of 19/10/2007. Hence, RINA is able to certify that the emission reductions from the project during the monitoring period 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2012 amount to 417,824 tCO2e.

1 INTRODUCTION

OneCarbon International B.V. has commissioned RINA to carry out the verification and certification of emission reductions reported for the registered “Mamak Landfill Waste Management Project – Turkey” project in Turkey, GS Registration Reference N° 440 , for the period 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2012.

This report summarizes the findings of the verification of the project, performed on the basis of GS VER requirements, which refer to CDM rules, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting.

1.1 Objective

The objective of the verification is to have an independent review ex post determination by a Designated Operational Entity (DOE) of the monitored reductions in GHG emissions that have occurred as a result of the registered GS project activity during a defined monitoring period and to monitor the impact of project activity on sustainable development, throughout the monitoring of the non-neutral Sustainable Development Indicators and moreover to monitor all the mitigation and compensation measures put in place. Certification is the written assurance by the DOE that, during a specific time period, a proposed GS project activity achieved the reductions in anthropogenic emissions by sources of GHGs as verified and that all the defined Sustainable Development Indicators to be monitored have been monitored according to the sustainability monitoring plan and that all the mitigation measures forecast have been correctly and effectively implemented.

The objective of this verification/certification was to verify and certify emission reductions and effective implementation of the monitoring of sustainable development indicators and mitigation measures, reported for the “Mamak Landfill Waste Management Project – Turkey” project in Turkey for the period 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2012.

1.2 Scope

The verification scope is:

• to verify that actual monitoring systems and procedures are in compliance with the monitoring systems and procedures described in the monitoring plan;

• to evaluate the GHG emission reduction data and express a conclusion with a reasonable level of assurance about whether the reported GHG emission reduction data is free from material misstatement;

• to verify that reported GHG emission data is sufficiently supported by evidence;

• to evaluate whether all the mitigation measures have been effectively put in place according to the monitoring plan and that all the sustainable development indicators have been correctly monitored.

Verification shall ensure that reported emission reductions are complete and accurate in accordance with applicable GS VER requirements, which refer to CDM rules, in order to be certified.

UNFCCC criteria for CDM refer to Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM modalities and procedures, and the subsequent decisions by the CDM Executive Board.

The GS criteria refer to GS requirements, GS Toolkit and supporting annexes.

Verification is not meant to provide any consultancy towards the project participants. However, stated requests for clarifications and/or corrective actions may have provided input for improvement of the monitoring.

GOLD STANDARD VERIFICATION/CERTIFICATION REPORT

GS Verification/Certification Report N° 2012-DG-20- MD, Rev. 1.2 16 GS_VER_REP-10-11

No change in the registered PDD /1/ and previous monitoring period /12/ has been occurred during the 4th monitoring period of 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2012.

Based on the on-site inspection and checking the above documents, RINA confirms that the project activity has been implemented and it is in operation as described above in accordance with the project activity in the registered PDD /1/.

3.4 Methodology for determining Emission Reductions

According to the applied methodology ACM0001 “Consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology for landfill gas project activities” version 08.1 /6/ and AM0025 “Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes” version 10 /7/, the emission reductions have been calculated based on the following formula: ERy = BEy – PEy – Ly

Where:

BEy = Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2e/yr)

PEy = Project emissions in year y (tCO2e/yr)

Ly = Leakage emissions in year y (tCO2e/yr)

Baseline emissions According to methodology ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/, the baseline emissions have been calculated based on the following formula: BEy = MDproject,y * GWPCH4 + ELLFG,y * CEFelec,y

Where:

MDproject,y = The amount of methane that would have been destroyed/combusted during the year in tonnes of methane (tCH4) in project scenario

GWPCH4 = The Global warming potential value for methane (for the first commitment period is 21 tCO2e/tCH4)

ELLFG,y = The net quantity of electricity produced using LFG which in the absence of the project activity would have been produced by power plants connected to the grid during a year

CEFelec,y = The CO2 emissions intensity of the baseline source of electricity displaced in tCO2e/MWh

According to the registered PDD /1/, the baseline emissions have been calculated based on the following formula, which is defined as per the methodology AM0025 version 10 /7/ and ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/: BEy =(MBy – MDreg,y) + BEEN,Y

Where:

MBy = the methane produced in the landfill in the absence of the project activity in year

MDreg,y = the methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity in year

BEEN,y = the baseline emissions from generation of energy displaced by the project activity in year

Project emissions According to methodology ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/, and methodology AM0025 version 10 /7/, the project emissions have been calculated based on the following formula: PEy = PEelec,y + PEa,y

GOLD STANDARD VERIFICATION/CERTIFICATION REPORT

GS Verification/Certification Report N° 2012-DG-20- MD, Rev. 1.2 17 GS_VER_REP-10-11

Where, PEelec,y = The emissions from electricity consumption on-site due to the project activity in year PEa,y = The emission from the anaerobic digestion process in year

Leakage According to methodology ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/ no leakage effects need to be accounted. The project activity does not involve off-site transportation of waste materials. The approved methodology AM0025 /7/ made a difference between residual waste treated aerobically or delivered to a landfill. The compost (residual waste) produced by the anaerobic digester during the monitoring period is disposed at landfill and they are not treated aerobically; if aerobical conditions are observed in the future the leakage emissions can be calculated, according to AM0025 methodology version 10; in case the residual is delivered to a landfill CH4 emissions are estimated through equation multiplying the methane that would be destroyed in the absence of the project activity with the adjustment factor which shall be revised at the start of the new crediting period.

Gold Standard In accordance with the Gold Standard requirements /3/ /4/, a landfill gas project can be considered eligible for emission reductions from both methane avoidance and non-renewable fuel substitution under the condition that at least 65% of the volume of the LFG captured, on an annual basis, is used to deliver energy services. The project activity during the crediting period meets the Gold Standard criteria reaching the 100% of LFG used for electricity generation. Gold Standard rules require demonstrating the contribution of the project activity to the sustainable development of Turkey through the contribution of local and/or global environmental sustainability, social sustainability and development and economic and technological development. In this regard, the following sustainable development indicators have been monitored during the crediting period: LFG usage, water quality, air quality, soil condition, and employment job quality, livelihood of the poor, human and institutional capacity, and quantity of employment.

3.4.1 Compliance of the monitoring plan with the mo nitoring methodology

The registered project activity applies the approved baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/ and AM0025 version 10 /7/. RINA confirms that the monitoring plan in the registered PDD /1/ complies with the applied CDM methodology and with the sustainability indicators established by the Appendix D of the Gold Standard requirements /4/.

3.4.2 Deviation in GHG emission reduction

Additionality assessment has been performed according to the “Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality” approved by UNFCCC in the registered PDD /1/. The baseline scenario selection and the calculation of emission reductions have been carried out in a conservative manner. An approved CDM methodology, ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/ and AM0025 version 10 /7/ have been applied in order to determine the baseline scenario and calculate emission reductions.

3.4.3 Compliance of monitoring with monitoring plan

The monitoring plan in the monitoring report version 4.4 of 28/08/2011 /2/ complies with the monitoring plan in the registered PDD /1/ and both the monitoring methodologies, ACM0001 version 08.1 /6/ and AM0025 version 10 /7/, have been properly implemented and followed. All the parameters, as listed in the following sections, have been monitored according the applied methodology and the relevant CDM EB decisions and GS requirements. The sustainability indicators in the monitoring report /2/ comply with the sustainability indicators established by the Appendix D of the Gold Standard Requirements. All information about organization, responsibility, reporting procedure and data flow have been defined in the Gold Standard Monitoring Manual /36/; the daily and internal records /18/ /19/ /20/ /21/ /22/ /23/, monthly protocols of meter reading /39/, the ER calculation /9/ (2012-April-16-ER_Calculation_Mamak_4thPV and 2012-August-28-ER_Calculation_Mamak_4thPV) were provided and reviewed. Any change has been occurred to the key sustainable development indicators during

As per the registerd PDD /1/ is used a conservative approach of 0.005 Nm3 H2S/Nm3LFG for sulphide content.

The “correction factor” mentioned in the registered PDD /1/ (footnote 75) was used for the ex-ante estimation of the emission reduction but it is not used for the baseline emission reduction calculation. The ex-ante parameters were validated by the DOE, which carried out the validation process and accepted by GS in registering the proposed project activity. The amount of methane destroyed/combusted during the monitoring period is measured as described in the Monitoring Report and in the ERs calculation spreadsheet provided by the PP and checked by RINA and it is evident that no correction factor is used.

To guarantee the accuracy of the monitoring data periodic calibration of the installed monitoring equipment has been carried out according to definitions included in the monitoring plan of the registered PDD /1/ and in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. All data are registered and processed electronically. At each booster station, a server unit receives all data sent from the meters and data in real time is saved to an internal memory every 30 minutes. Every day the server creates a file with all half-hourly data saved. The server also automatically calculates every 30 minutes the normal flow of landfill gas captured and of the biogas produced by the digester; the gas flow is multiplied with the real gas formula normating the gas flow to standard temperature and pressure. Temperature and pressure are real time values. The data stored at the booster station server are transferred once per month to a computer and a backup hard drive. In case of failures of the data recording system, no emission reduction will be claimed for that period. A logbook will be written and will be registered the period without data recording. The electricity generations supplied to the grid and electricity consumption from the grid are read remotely from the electricity meters by Automatic Meter Reading System (OSOS) by the TEIAS personnel. The data from the protocols are transferred to the excel sheet used for the emission reduction calculations.

The calculation of GS VERs for the fourth verification period is carried out through the spreadsheet “2012-August-28-ER_Calculation_Mamak_4thPV” /9/. The on-site visit at Mamak landfill waste management plant confirmed that the monitoring and reporting is carried out consistently and in line with the established procedures.

The collected data during the monitoring period will be kept by the project owner at least two years after the last issuance of VERs as stated in the registered PDD /1/ and monitoring manual /34/.

As mentioned in section B.1 of the monitoring report the gasifier has not been implemented yet, as a consequence there is at that stage no electricity generated from syngas. Therefore the monitoring report does not include any information of monitoring equipment for ID. 47. The PO has however noted that such equipment should be installed as soon as the gasifier is implemented.

As the gasifier is not implemented yet, the amount of electricity provided to the grid as a result of the whole project (ID46) is equal to the amount of electricity generated from the utilisation of biogas and LFG (ID48). Details of the meter used to measure ID46 are presented in section D.2 of the Monitoring report (as per above response).

Since ID46 = ID48 for this monitoring period, it is at that stage not necessary for the PO to install a monitoring equipment specific to ID.48.

When the gasifier is implemented, the PO acknowledges that it will be necessary to install a meter to measure ID.48.
