Zonguldak Landfill Gas to Electricity Project) is located at Zonguldak Landfill Site in Sofular Neighborhood, Central District, Zonguldak Province in Türkiye. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be reduced by avoiding CO2 emissions from those fossil fuel-based power plants connected to the grid and by avoiding GHG emissions from releasing LFG into atmosphere at the landfill site The facility has a capacity of 3.088 MWm / 3.002 MWe with two gas engines. The total installed capacity will be 4.539 MWm / 4.415 MWe in near future. Prior to the implementation of the project, the landfill site did not have gas extraction and utilization systems installed, and the LFG was directly emitted to the atmosphere. The project collects and utilizes LFG generated by Zonguldak landfill for power generation. Therefore, the project drastically reduces methane emissions, and at the same time, electricity is generated from the collected gas. Electricity generated is provided to the grid and the facility utilizes electricity generated by the project instead of drawing electricity from the grid. The project contributes significantly to three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 7: The project transforms a previously unmanaged landfill into a biogas-to-energy facility, providing a clean and efficient solution for waste management. It also supplies renewable energy to the grid, reducing dependency on fossil fuels. By utilizing methane in engine, total of 27,777 MWh renewable energy has been generated during the monitoring period. SDG 8: By creating employment opportunities for the management, operation, and maintenance of the landfill and energy systems, the project supports local job creation. Additionally, by reducing Türkiye’s energy dependency, it contributes to the nation's economic growth. During the monitoring period, total of 22 workers has been employed in this monitoring period. SDG 13: The project will mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by capturing and utilizing methane, a potent GHG that contributes significantly to climate change. It is projected that the project will achieve an average annual emission reduction of approximately 68,125 tCO2eq. 186,998 tCO2eq emission reduction has been provided during the monitoring period.

The Gezin Solar Power Plant is located in the Maden district of Küçükova village, within the eastern province of Elazığ, Türkiye. Despite its modest scale, this project makes a meaningful contribution to the clean energy transition by utilizing the region’s abundant solar resources in the most efficient way possible. Through the installation of high-performance photovoltaic technology, the plant generates approximately 6,963 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year. This clean energy directly displaces electricity from the national grid, which is predominantly powered by fossil fuel sources such as coal and natural gas. By replacing carbon-intensive grid electricity with solar power, the project not only contributes to Türkiye’s renewable energy goals but also plays an active role in mitigating the global climate crisis. On an annual basis, the Gezin SPP avoids the release of approximately 3,952 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) into the atmosphere—emissions that would otherwise result from conventional electricity generation. Each carbon credit issued under this project represents a verified and permanent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. While small in capacity, the Gezin SPP holds a unique distinction: it is the smallest project ever registered under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). This makes it a powerful symbol of how even the most compact climate solutions can create measurable, lasting impact. By supporting this project, you are not only helping to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in underserved regions but also endorsing the idea that no action is too small when it comes to fighting climate change.

The Ödemiş Integrated Solid Waste Management Plant (Ödemiş ISWMP) is a crucial part of the İzmir Integrated Waste Management Plan, which was initiated by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality in 2018 to address the pressing issue of municipal solid waste management across seven districts. Prior to the implementation of this project, municipal solid waste was merely collected and disposed of in landfills, leading to uncontrolled methane emissions which is a significant contributor to climate change. The Ödemiş ISWMP uses advanced technologies that transform waste into valuable resources. The project includes mechanical and thermal treatment processes that produce Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), as well as anaerobic digestion with biogas recovery. Non-recyclable, combustible waste is converted into RDF, which is used as a substitute for fossil fuels in cement factories. The facility incorporates Material Recovery Facility that separates recyclable materials from the waste stream, ensuring high recovery rates. Organic waste, including animal manure, is processed through anaerobic digestion, producing biogas that is then converted into electricity and heat in a cogeneration unit. The Ödemiş ISWMP processes approximately 800 tons of waste daily. The project makes significant contributions to five Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In alignment with SDG 7, the project generates approximately 152,100 MWh of electricity annually by converting waste into renewable energy, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting Türkiye’s transition to a more sustainable energy mix. The project also supports SDG 8 by creating over 200 jobs, with more than 65 positions filled by women. By emphasizing local hiring and providing annual training to its employees, the project fosters skill development and contributes to economic growth and a significant decrease in unemployment in the region. Furthermore, the Ödemiş ISWMP contributes to SDG 9 by employing advanced technologies such as fully automated waste sorting systems and high-efficiency biogas digesters. The project also aligns with SDG 12 by playing a critical role in Türkiye's Zero Waste initiative. Through its circular approach to waste management, the Ödemiş ISWMP transforms organic waste into energy and valuable by-products like organic fertilizer, significantly reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills. Moreover, the project is a major contributor to SDG 13, as it captures and converts methane from waste into energy, thereby preventing significant greenhouse gas emissions. The project is estimated to reduce emissions by 191,383 tCO2e annually, totaling up to 1,339,679 tCO2e over the 7-year crediting period. 

The Yılmazlar Biogas Power Plant, launched in 2021, treats waste from the Kayı Farm, a cattle farm located in Derebent Village, Tavşanlı District, Kütahya Province, Türkiye. This project plays a crucial role in safely and sustainably managing manure from the farm, converting it into clean energy. Designed for a lifespan of 49 years, the project mixes cattle manure from Kayı Farm with chicken litter from nearby farms. Through anaerobic digestion, the waste produces biogas, which is then converted into electricity. The remaining by-products from the process are treated to produce organic fertilizer. On May 20, 2020, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) granted the project a generation license of 1.560 MWe, with an annual capacity of 11,700 MWh for 49 years. The plant operates with one gas engine and is projected to reduce an average of 36,892 tCO2e emissions annually. The project contributes significantly to three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 13 (Climate Action): By capturing methane from cattle and chicken waste and converting it into electricity, the project directly supports climate action efforts. SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy): It promotes renewable energy generation through biogas production, supporting the transition to sustainable energy sources. SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): The project has created 16 new jobs, which contribute to the local economy and offer valuable training opportunities that would not have existed without it. In summary, the Yılmazlar Biogas Power Plant Project is a vital initiative that addresses waste management, renewable energy generation, and local economic development, while contributing to global climate goals.

Sinop Landfill Gas to Electricity Project is designed to utilize the gas produced in the existing landfill to generate electricity produced by the Sinop Landfill Site located in the Hacıoğlu Neighborhood, Central District of Sinop Province in Türkiye. The facility had an initial operational capacity of 1.453 MWm / 1.414 MWe, utilizing a single generator. Once fully installed, the project will achieve a total capacity of 2.906 MWm / 2.828 MWe, comprising two generators of equal capacity.
