Additionality: the methodology itself gives it (AM0070 v03.1.0, p. 3). The project needs no test of its own. CM-F-AM0070-ADDITIONALITY
AM0070 — Manufacturing of energy efficient domestic refrigerators
About this methodology
Projects manufacture refrigerators that use less electricity in households. The method measures emissions avoided through lower electricity consumption during their use.

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-AM0070-GRID-EF
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-AM0070-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.

Projects using AM0070
Browse 3 published projects using AM0070, 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. Open a project to view its registry details and the analysis available for that project.
Which registries list projects under AM0070?
In CarbonMeld's data, AM0070 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (2) 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.
| Registry | Projects | Registered | Projects list |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDM (UNFCCC) | 2 | 2 | See the list |
| Verra (VCS) | 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.
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.
