ACM0001 applies to project activities that include the destruction of methane emissions and displacement of a more GHG-intensive service by capturing landfill gas and flaring the methane, using it to produce electricity or thermal energy, and/or supplying it to consumers through a natural gas distribution network, dedicated pipeline, or trucks. It is globally applicable.

The proposed revision to ACM0001 includes the following updates:

  1. Adoption of VT0009 Combined Baseline and Additionality Assessment
  2. Adoption of VT0010 Emissions from Electricity Consumption and Generation and VT0011 Electricity Systems Emission Factors
  3. Requirements and guidance for projects transitioning from AMS-III.G. to this revision
  4. Other minor improvements
