AM0001 — Decomposition of fluoroform (HFC-23) waste streams

About this methodology

Projects capture and destroy HFC-23 formed as a by-product of HCFC-22 manufacture. The method measures the greenhouse gas emissions prevented by destroying it.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • Integrity shown

    Additionality: the methodology itself gives it (AM0001 v06.0.0 baseline and additionality, p. 3). The project needs no test of its own. CM-F-AM0001-ADDITIONALITY

    Link
  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0001-GRID-EF

    Link
  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (AM0001 v06.0.0 Leakage, p. 11). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0001-LEAKAGE

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

  • not assessed

    No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0001 v06.0.0 applicability, p. 3). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0001-REGULATORY-SURPLUS

    Link
  • 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-AM0001-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.

  • v05.1adopted 27 Jul 2007source

    Editorial revision to: Amend the first row of the data monitoring table, to reflect the calibration requirements for the flow meters measuring the quantity of HFC-23 supplied to the destruction process (q_HFC23y) as stipulated in Section …

  • v04adopted 12 May 2006source

    Reflect an interpretation of “lower of the two readings” in the methodology in accordance with the Board’s guidance provided at its twenty-third meeting. With this revision the methodology clearly states that monthly recording of HFC23 …

  • v03adopted 13 May 2005source

    The applicability conditions were modified to limit the methodology to existing HCFC22 production facilities which have at least three (3) years of operating history between beginning of the year 2000 and the end of the year 2004; The …

  • v02adopted 7 Apr 2004source

    Clarification is provided on how the quantity of waste HFC23 destroyed is calculated; A footnote was added to clarify that the quantity of HFC23 used to calculate the waste generation rate w is the sum of HFC 23 recovered for sale plus the …

Which registries list projects under AM0001?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0001 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (23) 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)2319See 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 (12 November 2026); projects in a later status, such as awaiting verification approval, late to verify or completed, are not in that column.
