BACKGROUNDIFC is collaborating with the Ankara Water and Sewerage Administration (“ASKI” or “the Client”) regarding the financing of the capacity expansion and treatment methodology upgrade of the Tatlar Wastewater Treatment Plant (“the Project”). Located in Türkiye’s capital and second largest city; Ankara; Tatlar WWTP is the main wastewater treatment plant serving the central districts where 90% of the population lives and several industrial zones are located. Due to aging infrastructure and increasing utilization driven by rapid population growth; Tatlar WWTP was no longer able to process all the incoming sewage; resulting in a 40-45% of the wastewater being discharged directly into local stream. With the planned expansion; Tatlar WWTP will be able to serve Ankara’s projected population of 6.8 million by 2040; avoiding the environmental and health risks connected to the discharge of untreated wastewater in nearby basins. Tatlar WWTP has been operating since 1997; with a design capacity of 765;000m3/day based on the anticipated population of 3.3 million in 2002; it can operate today at approximately 60% capacity utilization factor only. Furthermore; as the current design only removes carbon; the remaining nutrients are left untreated in the process. Both result in significant problems in terms of the quality of water discharged into Ankara Stream; which feeds into Sakarya river basin; and ultimately potable water sources of many cities in Marmara region including Istanbul.With this project; the Tatlar WWTP will be upgraded into an advanced biological wastewater treatment; with enhanced capacity of 1;350;000m3/day (adding 585;000m3/day). The capacity expansion and upgrade of the Tatlar WWTP is also expected to improve environmental sustainability and resilience to climate change. By enhancing the plant's capacity and upgrading its technology; the Project can better manage and treat wastewater generated in the Ankara metropolitan region; reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. A reduction of 20;420 tCO2e per year is expected (to be confirmed). ASKI is a member of IFC’s Utilities for Climate (U4C) network that supports emerging market utilities find climate-friendly solutions to their challenges through investment and advisory services; and providing access to a global knowledge network among peer utilities. Main objectives of the consultant’s missionThe project realizes significant emissions reduction; which could be monetized on the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). The consultant’s mission is to support ASKI and IFC in assessing and identifying opportunities to generate  verified carbon credits related to the GHG emissions brought by the rehabilitation and extension of a WWTP under credible methodologies / standards; leading carbon credits certification issuance process for ASKI to obtain verified carbon credits; and  conducting demand analysis; identifying potential buyers of carbon credits and assisting ASKI to establish the sales strategy of carbon credits.These Terms of Reference lay out the main role of the consultant; which is to provide a list of instructions for generating and selling carbon credits related to the ASKI WWTP project according to the three main phases below. This procurement is only for Phase 1; but the selected firm must show experience and capabilities to conduct phases 2 and 3 as well. PHASE 1 – Assessment and identification of opportunities to generate carbon credits related to the capacity expansion and upgrading of the  Tatlar WWTP under credible methodologies / standards. (The first phase is expected to last 4 months).PHASE 2 – Carbon credits certification and issuance. (This phase will last around 1 year ). PHASE 3 – Assistance and capacity building to ASKI in assessing the demand; identifying potential buyers and establishing sales strategy to sell carbon credits on the Voluntary Market. (This phase is expected to last 1 year; IFC’s assistance is limited to the first issuance of carbon credits).Detailed scope of work is outlined in the TOR attached.
