ACM0013 — Construction and operation of new grid connected fossil fuel fired power plants using a less GHG intensive technology

About this methodology

Projects build fossil-fuel power plants that use more efficient technology than the expected alternative. The method measures emissions saved through this efficiency improvement.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it (ACM0013 v02, p. 5). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-ACM0013-GRID-EF

    Link

  • A confirmed investment analysis A-INVEST

    The documents show a project-level additionality test, the validation confirmed it, and it is an investment analysis (a numeric test of the project's finances with and without carbon revenue).

Set by the methodology or the programme, not assessed by our current method

  • not assessed

    Social safeguards and consent of communities (FPIC): any such rules come from the programme, not the methodology. Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-ACM0013-SAFEGUARDS-FPIC

Not applicable to this type — never a gap in our current method

The criterion does not apply to this methodology. Our current method never counts it as a gap.

The general rules apply as well. Read the general rules.

The rules of methodology v2.2, as they were: the archived v2.2 page.

History and transitions

  • v02adopted 16 May 2008source

    The methodology was revised to clarify that in the fourth applicability condition the geographical area has to be limited by the physical borders of the host country and as such cannot be extended to neighboring non-Annex I countries.

  • v01adopted 12 Sept 2007source

Which registries list projects under ACM0013?

In CarbonMeld's data, ACM0013 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (56) and Verra (1). Being listed on a registry is not the same as being registered: the «Registered» column counts the projects each registry shows as registered, and credits are issued only after each verification.

RegistryProjectsRegisteredProjects list
CDM (UNFCCC)566See the list
Verra (VCS)10See the list

Counts of project records in CarbonMeld's data, with or without a CarbonMeld analysis. «Registered» counts the records whose current registry status is «registered», as last read (15 November 2026); projects in a later status, such as awaiting verification approval, late to verify or completed, are not in that column.

One of these projects has no number: additionality, quantification or both have no public grade of its type of project that applies to it yet. Its page shows the analysis.
