Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0049-GRID-EF
AM0049 — Methodology for gas based energy generation in an industrial facility
About this methodology
Projects install gas-based power or heat generation at existing industrial facilities. The method measures emissions avoided compared with the energy supplies those facilities would otherwise use.

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).
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-AM0049-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.

v03adopted 13 Feb 2009source
Expand the applicability of this methodology to project activities exporting electricity to the grid on ad-hoc basis. In this case, annual exported electricity is capped at 10% of the total power produced by the project activity, and …

v02adopted 19 Oct 2007source
Incorporate the use of the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”.

Which registries list projects under AM0049?
In CarbonMeld's data, AM0049 projects are on 3 registries: CDM (5), CerCarbono (1) and International Carbon Registry (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.
| Registry | Projects | Registered | Projects list |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDM (UNFCCC) | 5 | 0 | See the list |
| CerCarbono (CC) | 1 | 0 | See the list |
| International Carbon Registry (ICR) | 1 | 0 | See 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.
