VCS603 | RoR Hydro, Türkiye is a renewables (electricity) Verified Carbon Standard project providing access to electricity and its benefits.
This run-of-river hydro-electricity project uses three 1.96 MW vertical axis Kaplan type turbines.
It is downstream of the existing Kemer weir system and uses an existing irrigation canal leading down from the weir.
Water flows through a penstock to the three turbines which produce around 23,230 MWh annually.
The project supplies renewable electricity to the Turkish Power Grid which has an emissions intensity of 0.5502 tCO2e/ MWh.
There is more to offsets than just carbon.
Each VCS carbon credit is a tonne of verified climate benefit, no matter the type of project.
This carbon offset project provides multiple sustainability co-benefits beyond just carbon and helps link your climate response to improved sustainability.
The project is a clean technology investment in the region, which would not have taken place without carbon finance.
It reduces Türkiye’s expanding energy deficit, diversifies the electricity system and reduces energy import dependency.
The project’s construction and operation has created local employment and increased incomes.
The local economy benefits through contracts with local providers for the supply of construction materials.
The project fosters infrastructure investments which benefit the local rural community in this remote area.
The project makes the rural electricity supply more reliable and cost efficient, with better availability.
It displaces electricity from mainly fossil fuel power plants while reducing the use and depletion of non-renewable energy resources.
It reduces GHG emissions as well as SOx, NOx and particulates associated with the conventional thermal power generation.
The project’s operation promotes hydro-electricity based power generation and encourages other similar projects.
The project’s design and monitoring, validation and verification reports are publicly available here: https://registry.verra.org/app/projectDetail/VCS/603
