How our current method reads projects of this type

Versions of the official text these rules cover: 1.2

What CarbonMeld reads

  • Integrity shown

    Additionality: the project must show it with a test (Subsurface v1.2 §6.4, p. 1). CarbonMeld reads the test in the documents.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-ADDITIONALITY

  • shown

    Grid emission factor: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-GRID-EF

  • shown

    Durability of the storage: the methodology sets rules for it. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-DURABILITY-MEASUREMENT

    Link
  • shown

    Sustainability of the feedstock: the methodology sets rules for it (Subsurface v1.2 §4, p. 1). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-FEEDSTOCK-SUSTAINABILITY

Set by the methodology or the programme, not assessed by our current method

  • not assessed

    Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it. Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-LEAKAGE

    Buffer pool: the methodology sets rules for it (Subsurface v1.2 Risk of Reversal, p. 1). Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-BUFFER

  • not assessed

    Permanence and reversals: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (Subsurface v1.2 summary, p. 1). Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-PERMANENCE-REVERSAL

    No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it. Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-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-ISOMETRIC-SUBSURFACE-BIOMASS-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.

  • Fraction of non-renewable biomass (fNRB)CM-N-FNRB
  • Usage rate of the devicesCM-N-USAGE
  • Tracking of the end useCM-N-END-USE-TRACKING

The general rules apply as well. Read the general rules.
