AMS-III.AH — Shift from high carbon-intensive fuel mix ratio to low carbon-intensive fuel mix ratio

About this methodology

Projects increase the share of lower-carbon fossil fuels in an existing fuel mix. The method measures the emission reductions from that change in energy supply.

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-III-AH-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).

Figures set against the methodology's own values

  • Integrity comparison

    The small-scale limit is 60 kt CO2e per year (p. 4). CarbonMeld compares the project's annual estimate with it. CM-F-AMS-III-AH-SMALL-SCALE-LIMIT

    small-scale limit: 60 kt CO2e per year

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-III-AH-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

  • v03.0adopted 4 May 2017source

    Amend baseline equations to correctly account for the share of baseline fuel in the total input energy of the element process and further clarify the existing provision as regards ex ante calculations of baseline emissions; Editorially …

  • v02.0adopted 24 Jul 2015source

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.
