AM0010 — Landfill gas capture and electricity generation projects where landfill gas capture is not mandated by law

What CarbonMeld reads

• shown

  Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0010 v01 Emission Reduction, p. 2). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0010-GRID-EF

• 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).

• A methane activity the law requires A-LEGAL

  The rule applies to projects that capture or avoid methane. These are landfill gas, manure, wastewater, composting and coal-mine methane. They also include orphan wells, oil and gas leaks, rice, enteric methane and household biogas. The documents state that the law requires the activity. Or the documents state that a law requires the capture of the gas. An activity that the law already requires is not additional. If the documents show that the baseline already deducts the amount that the law requires, CarbonMeld takes no point.
