1. Energy (renewable/non-renewable)
VMR0011 is a revision to the CDM methodology AMS-I.E.: Switch from non-renewable biomass for thermal applications by the user (external), which applies to project activities that switch from non-renewable biomass for thermal applications by the user. VMR0011 fixes at validation a leakage adjustment factor that accounts for the uncertainty of the fraction of non-renewable biomass and must be used in conjunction with the latest version of AMS-I.E.
Please note:
- Effective July 2, 2024, AMS-I.E. is excluded as a standalone methodology. Projects must use VMR0011 in conjunction with AMS-I.E.
- Projects that have requested listing on the Verra Registry before July 2, 2024 must complete validation using AMS-I.E. within a six-month grace period.
- A new methodology, Methodology for Improved Thermal Energy Generation Units (M0174), is currently under development. Once it is approved, the new methodology will replace VMR0006 and VMR0011.
