Stage

Under Development

CDM methodology AM0073 (external) is applicable to project activities where manure is collected from multiple livestock farms and subsequently treated in a single central treatment plant. Existing anaerobic manure treatment systems in multiple livestock farms are replaced with a central treatment plant with one or a combination of animal waste management systems (AWMS) that results in less GHG emissions.
The proposed revision aims to make the methodology more applicable and easier to implement for projects involving small farms by addressing logistical challenges.

Summary of Development

Verra received other proposals related to this type of project activities and decided to consolidate the changes and to incorporate the clarifications and corrections issued to the AM0073 under a new version of this methodology. The proposed revision will proceed as part of M0313 Revision to AM0073: Multi-site manure collection and treatment in a central plant.
