AM0014 — Fossil fuel based cogeneration for identified recipient facility(ies)

About this methodology

Projects install cogeneration equipment to supply heat and electricity to industrial users. The method compares its emissions with the heat and power supplies it replaces.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0014-GRID-EF

    Link
  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0014 v05, p. 12). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0014-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

    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-AM0014-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.

All 4 versions

  • v05.0adopted 28 Nov 2014source

    Simplifies and streamlines the methodology and expands applicability to greenfield consumer facilities. The revision also changes the title from “Natural gas-based package cogeneration” to “Fossil fuel based cogeneration for identified …

  • v04.0adopted 27 Jul 2007source

    Expands the applicability of the methodology to project activities that replace electricity generation from captive electricity plant with electricity generation from natural gas based cogeneration plant.

  • v03.0adopted 4 May 2007source

    Expands the applicability of the methodology to project activities that use oil or coal to generate energy in the absence of the project activity and use of approved additionality tool to demonstrate additionality.

  • v02.0adopted 21 Jul 2006source

    Expands the applicability of the methodology to cogeneration systems owned or operated by the consuming facilities that receive the project heat and electricity. 01.0 3September 2004 EB 15, Annex 5 Initial adoption.

Which registries list projects under AM0014?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0014 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (19) 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)196See 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.
