AM0005 — Small grid-connected zero-emissions renewable electricity generation

About this methodology

Projects supply renewable electricity to the grid. The method measures the emissions avoided by displacing other electricity generation.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0005 v01, p. 1). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0005-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).

Deductions that can apply

  • No additionality test in the documents (renewable energy) A-TEST-NOT-STATED

    Renewable energy, power generation and supply: the documents read state no additionality test. A test that the documents do not name is a different case. It takes no points. CarbonMeld applies this rule only where a check of the documents has confirmed its condition; without that check, the rule takes no points.

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

  • not assessed

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0005 v01, p. 5). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0005-LEAKAGE

    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-AM0005-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.

Projects using AM0005

Browse 11 published projects using AM0005, listed alphabetically. There is no ranking for this methodology yet: it appears here automatically once 5 of its projects not in the pipeline or under validation are rated.

Which registries list projects under AM0005?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0005 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (10) 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)104See the list
Verra (VCS)11See 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.

2 of these projects have no number: additionality, quantification or both have no public grade of their type of project that applies to them yet. Their pages show the analysis.
