AM0030 — PFC emission reductions from anode effect mitigation at primary aluminium smelting facilities

About this methodology

Projects improve existing aluminium smelters to reduce releases of perfluorocarbons. The method measures these greenhouse gas reductions during aluminium production.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • Integrity shown

    Additionality: the methodology itself gives it (AM0030 v04.0.0 baseline and additionality, p. 3). The project needs no test of its own. CM-F-AM0030-ADDITIONALITY

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-AM0030-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.

History and transitions

All 4 versions

  • v04.0.0adopted 11 May 2012source

    Incorporate a benchmark approach for the baseline emissions calculation; Improve the clarity of the language; and Ensure internal consistency. Due to the overall modification of the documents, no highlights of the changes are provided.

  • v03adopted 28 Nov 2008source

    Changes in baseline section to redefine the emission factor (BEIAI) to make it applicable for current technology, based on latest IAI survey.

  • v02adopted 30 Nov 2007source

    Update of IPCC guidelines from 1996 to 2006

  • v01adopted 19 May 2006source

    Initial adoption.

Projects using AM0030

Browse 7 published projects using AM0030, listed alphabetically. There is no ranking for this methodology yet: it appears here automatically once 5 of its projects not in the pipeline or under validation are rated.

Which registries list projects under AM0030?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0030 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (6) 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)63See 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.

One of these projects has no number: additionality, quantification or both have no public grade of its type of project that applies to it yet. Its page shows the analysis.
