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

    No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0065 v02.1 baseline / additionality, p. 4). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0065-REGULATORY-SURPLUS

  • 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-AM0065-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

  • v02.1adopted 28 Nov 2008source

    Editorial revision to redefine the data integrity factor and therefore making corresponding changes in equations 3 and 7.

  • v02adopted 2 Aug 2008source

    To include a changed procedure to estimate the baseline emission factor of SF6 based on the minimum value of emission factor for the three years prior to the start of implementation of the project activity.

  • v01adopted 1 Feb 2008source

    Initial adoption.

Which registries list projects under AM0065?

In CarbonMeld's data, AM0065 projects are on 3 registries: CDM (3), Verra (2) and American 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.

American Carbon Registry (ACR)10See 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.
