Additionality: the methodology itself gives it (VM0039 v1.1 Additionality Step 2, p. 15). The project needs no test of its own. CM-F-VM0039-ADDITIONALITY
VM0039 — Methodology for Use of Foam Stabilized Base and Emulsion Asphalt Mixtures in Pavement Application
About this methodology
Projects use foamed asphalt or asphalt emulsions instead of conventional hot-mix asphalt in roads. The method measures greenhouse gas reductions from producing and installing these materials.

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-VM0039-GRID-EF
Set by the methodology or the programme, not assessed by our current method
- not assessed
No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it (VM0039 v1.1 Additionality Step 1, p. 15). Our current method does not assess it. CM-F-VM0039-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-VM0039-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 VM0039
Browse 5 published projects using VM0039, 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 VM0039?
In CarbonMeld's data, VM0039 projects are on one registry: Verra (5 projects, 2 registered).
| Registry | Projects | Registered | Projects list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verra (VCS) | 5 | 2 | 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.
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.
