Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0015-GRID-EF
AM0015 — Bagasse-based cogeneration connected to an electricity grid
About this methodology
Bagasse-based cogeneration plants, using bagasse from the same facility, supply electricity that displaces power from the grid. The methodology accounts for the net change in fossil-fuel emissions, including the grid generation displaced.

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).
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.
Set by the methodology or the programme, not assessed by our current method
- not assessed
Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0015 v01, p. 10). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0015-LEAKAGE
- not assessed
Sustainability of the feedstock: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0015 v01 applicability, p. 1). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0015-FEEDSTOCK-SUSTAINABILITY
- 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-AM0015-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.

Top projects using AM0015
This page ranks projects using AM0015 by their CarbonMeld document-based ratings. The rank compares project ratings; it is not a rating of the methodology itself.
6 rated projects of the 35 tracked in this methodology · average rating 4.4/10 · ranked by CarbonMeld's document-based rating: additionality, quantification, permanence (where carbon is stored) and claim safety.

Which registries list projects under AM0015?
In CarbonMeld's data, AM0015 projects are on one registry: CDM (35 projects, 25 registered).
| Registry | Projects | Registered | Projects list |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDM (UNFCCC) | 35 | 25 | See the list |
Counts of project records in CarbonMeld's data, with or without a CarbonMeld analysis, so they can be larger than the ranking below. «Registered» counts the records whose current registry status is «registered», as last read (12 November 2026); projects in a later status, such as awaiting verification approval, late to verify or completed, are not in that column.
