AMS-II.K — Installation of co-generation or tri-generation systems supplying energy to commercial building

About this methodology

Projects install combined power, heating or cooling systems for commercial buildings. The method measures emissions saved compared with the energy systems that would otherwise serve those buildings.

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-K-GRID-EF

    Link
  • shown

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (AMS-II.K v02 para 26, p. 11). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AMS-II-K-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-K-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

  • v02.0adopted 11 May 2012source

    To include installation of new cooling equipment that uses refrigerants with no ODP but with GWP. Physical leakage associated with refrigerants use, are accounted for as project emissions in a conservative manner.

  • v01adopted 28 May 2010source

    Initial adoption.

Which registries list projects under AMS-II.K?

In CarbonMeld's data, AMS-II.K projects are on one registry: CDM (5 projects, 4 registered).

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.
