AM0011 — Landfill gas recovery with electricity generation and no capture or destruction of methane in the baseline scenario

About this methodology

Projects capture landfill gas for flaring, on-site electricity or leachate evaporation. The method measures avoided methane releases without separately crediting displaced electricity.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • 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.

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-AM0011-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 AM0011?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0011 projects are on one registry: CDM (9 projects, 6 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.

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.
