AM0050 — Feed switch in integrated Ammonia-urea manufacturing industry

About this methodology

Projects replace higher-carbon feedstocks with natural gas in integrated ammonia and urea plants. The method measures CO2 reductions from using a feedstock with less excess carbon.

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-AM0050-GRID-EF

    Link
  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0050 v03.0.0 Leakage, p. 13). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0050-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

    No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0050 v03.0.0 baseline and additionality, p. 5). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0050-REGULATORY-SURPLUS

    Link
  • 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-AM0050-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 AM0050?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0050 projects are on one registry: CDM (4 projects, 1 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 (15 November 2026); projects in a later status, such as awaiting verification approval, late to verify or completed, are not in that column.
