Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it (AMS-III.M v02 baseline para 8, p. 2). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AMS-III-M-GRID-EF
AMS-III.M — Reduction in consumption of electricity by recovering soda from paper manufacturing process
About this methodology
Projects recover caustic soda from waste liquor produced during papermaking. The method measures emissions saved by using less energy than conventional soda production.

How methodology v3 reads projects of this type
What CarbonMeld reads
- shown
Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (AMS-III.M v02 Leakage paras 11–12, p. 3). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents. CM-F-AMS-III-M-LEAKAGE
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. 1). CarbonMeld compares the project's annual estimate with it. CM-F-AMS-III-M-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-M-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 AMS-III.M
Browse 4 published projects using AMS-III.M, 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 AMS-III.M?
In CarbonMeld's data, AMS-III.M projects are on one registry: CDM (4 projects, 1 registered).
| Registry | Projects | Registered | Projects list |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDM (UNFCCC) | 4 | 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.
