CDM methodology AMS-II.G.: Energy efficiency measures in thermal applications of non-renewable biomass (external) is applicable to project activities that introduce energy efficiency measures in thermal applications (including cookstoves, ovens, and dryers) to reduce the consumption of non-renewable biomass.

This methodology revision (VMR0006) expands the methodology’s scope to include the switch from fossil fuel to renewable biomass in these thermal applications.

VMR0006 must be used in conjunction with the latest version of AMS-II.G.

Please note:

  • As of October 9, 2024, VM0050 has replaced VMR0006 and VMR0011.
  • Projects seeking to complete registration under VMR0006, v1.2 must have requested listing on the Verra Registry before October 9, 2024, and complete validation by May 31, 2025.
  • Please note, on July 6, 2023, AMS-II.G was excluded as a standalone methodology. Projects seeking to complete registration under AMS-II.G as a standalone methodology must have requested listing on the Verra Registry before July 6, 2023, and completed validation by January 5, 2024.
  • Registered projects using AMS I.E. or VMR0011 can update past verification periods and requantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions from these periods in accordance with VM0050 and the forthcoming Methodology Change and Requantification Procedure.
  • All projects must use VM0050 starting with the 2027 vintage year at the latest. For projects switching to VM0050 for the 2027 vintage year, the updated project description can be validated and submitted along with the verification and monitoring reports for that year. Such submissions can be made up to five years after the last verification.
