Secondary benefits
- Job opportunities for local contractors during construction

Standard
This project is seeking registration with the Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reduction (GS VER) credits stream. An Initial Stakeholder Consultation will be organised in autumn 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 597
Baseline Methodology
The baseline carbon emission factor will be calculated using UNFCCC consolidated methodology ACM0002.
Additionality
The additionality will be demonstrated using the “CDM Tool for Additionality”. The barrier analysis method will be used.
