AMS-II.F — Energy efficiency and fuel switching measures for agricultural facilities and activities

About this methodology

Projects reduce energy use or change fuels in agricultural facilities and operations. The method measures the resulting fuel or electricity-related emission reductions.

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-AMS-II-F-GRID-EF

    Link
  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (AMS-II.F v10 para 8, p. 2). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AMS-II-F-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

    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-AMS-II-F-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

All 10 versions · current v10.0

  • v10.0adopted 2 Mar 2012currentsource

    To remove the relevant requirement associated with the financial indicator from the methodology, allowing measurement using a sampling approach and removing the scrapping requirement in the PoA section of the methodology.

  • v09adopted 27 Jul 2007source

    Allow for its application under a programme of activities (PoA).

  • v08adopted 15 Dec 2006source

    To broaden its applicability to include retrofit project activities, and to exclude technical line losses from the calculation of the emission factor.

  • v07adopted 25 Nov 2005source

    References to “non-renewable biomass” in Appendix B deleted.

  • v06adopted 20 Sept 2005source

    Guidance on consideration of non-renewable biomass in Type I methodologies, thermal equivalence of Type II GWhe limits included.

  • v05adopted 25 Feb 2005source

    Guidance on ‘capacity addition’ and ‘cofiring’ in Type I methodologies and monitoring of methane in AMS-III.D included.

  • v04adopted 22 Oct 2004source

    AMS-II.F was adopted; leakage due to equipment transfer was included in all Type I and Type II methodologies.

  • v03adopted 30 Jun 2004source

    New methodology AMS-III.E was adopted.

  • v02adopted 28 Nov 2003source

    Definition of build margin included in AMS-I.D, minor revisions to AMS-I.A, AMS-III.D, AMS-II.E.

  • v01adopted 21 Jan 2003source

    Initial adoption. The Board at its seventh meeting noted the adoption by the Conference of the Parties (COP), by its decision 21/CP.8, of simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities (SSC M&P).

Which registries list projects under AMS-II.F?

In CarbonMeld's data, AMS-II.F projects are on 2 registries: CDM (5) 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.

RegistryProjectsRegisteredProjects list
CDM (UNFCCC)52See the list
Verra (VCS)30See 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.
