Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AM0090-GRID-EF
AM0090 — Modal shift in transportation of cargo from road transportation to water or rail transportation
About this methodology
Projects move freight from road trucks to rail or water transport. The method compares the emissions from carrying that cargo before and after the change.

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
Usage rate of the devices: the methodology sets rules for it (AM0090 v01.1.0 applicability, p. 2). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0090-USAGE
- not assessed
No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it. Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-AM0090-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-AM0090-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 AM0090
Browse 6 published projects using AM0090, 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 AM0090?
In CarbonMeld's data, AM0090 projects are on 2 registries: CDM (3) and Verra (3). 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) | 3 | 1 | See the list |
| Verra (VCS) | 3 | 1 | 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.
2 of these projects have no number: additionality, quantification or both have no public grade of their type of project that applies to them yet. Their pages show the analysis.
