Module for CO2 Capture from Combustion-based Industrial Heat and Power Generation

VM0049 Carbon Capture and Storage is globally applicable and applies to project activities involving carbon capture and storage (CCS). It relies on modules for quantifying emissions related to the capture, transport, and storage segments of a CCS project. These modules can be combined, depending on the specific design of the CCS project or technologies implemented.

The proposed module applies to project activities eligible under the most recent version of VM0049 that result in the capture of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion from heat and power generation in industrial facilities.

On July 24, 2026, the development of this module was archived per the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (PDF). Project activites proposed under the module will be incorporated into M0479, Module for CO2 Capture.
