AM0008 — Industrial fuel switching from coal and petroleum fuels to natural gas without extension of capacity and lifetime of the facility

About this methodology

Projects replace coal or petroleum fuels with natural gas in industrial processes. The method measures the emission reductions caused by that fuel change.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0008 v01, p. 3). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0008-LEAKAGE

    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

    No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0008 v01, p. 1). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0008-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-AM0008-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.

Which registries list projects under AM0008?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0008 projects are on one registry: CDM (17 projects, 8 registered).

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 (14 November 2026); projects in a later status, such as awaiting verification approval, late to verify or completed, are not in that column.

3 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.
