AM0074 — Methodology for new grid connected power plants using permeate gas previously flared and/or vented

About this methodology

Projects use residual gas from natural gas processing, previously flared or vented, to generate electricity. The method measures reductions compared with continued gas disposal and alternative power generation.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type

What CarbonMeld reads

  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0074-GRID-EF

    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).

Deductions that can apply

  • No additionality test in the documents (renewable energy) A-TEST-NOT-STATED

    Renewable energy, power generation and supply: the documents read state no additionality test. A test that the documents do not name is a different case. It takes no points. CarbonMeld applies this rule only where a check of the documents has confirmed its condition; without that check, the rule takes no points.

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 (AM0074 v03.0.0 baseline identification, p. 2). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0074-REGULATORY-SURPLUS

  • not assessed

    Tracking of the end use: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (AM0074 v03.0.0 applicability, p. 2). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0074-END-USE-TRACKING

    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-AM0074-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.

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.
