M0384
ACM0022 applies to project activities that implement and operate new plants for the treatment of fresh waste that would otherwise be disposed of in a solid waste disposal site (SWDS). The proposed revision expands the scope to include:
- Conventional composting and associated N2O emissions as a possible baseline scenario
- Emission reductions associated with using insect composting byproducts to displace high emissions-intensive animal feed products.
Summary of Development
The methodology idea note was submitted by the Vanke Foundation (external). On April 9, 2025, the development of this methodology was put on hold. Verra will consider resuming the development once the following criteria are met:
- Resources are available to support the methodology development process
- The development process can be prioritized over other VCS methodology development work according to the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.4 (PDF).
Verra will reassess whether to resume the development of this methodology in Q1 2026.
Stakeholders interested in collaborating during methodology development or developing projects that this methodology might enable are encouraged to contact methodologies@verra.org. Please include the Methodology Development ID #M0384 in the subject line.
