OUTLINE Overview Applicability Baseline identification Emissions Calculation Monitoring requirements
Overview
Applicability Methodology AMS-III.F AMS-III.G AMS-III.E AMS-III.H AMS-III.AO Applicability Composting and/or co-composting, e.g. MSW composting, animal manure composting, sewage sludge composting Landfill gas capture and destruction Thermal/mechanical treatment of organic matter in wastes, e.g. RDF processing, gasification Wastewater/sludge anaerobic treatment, with methane capture and destruction Anaerobic digestion of organic matter in wastes
Applicability Technology/measures in III.F 1. Composting 2. Co-composting 3. Manure composting + Construction and expansion of treatment facilities as well as activities that increase capacity utilization at an existing facility. Recovery and combustion of landfill gas is not required in the baseline; Identified landfill(s) should be able to accommodate the waste to be used for the project for the duration of the crediting period; or it is common practice in the region to dispose of the waste in solid waste disposal sites (landfills)
Baseline identification The baseline is the situation where, in the absence of the project activity, biomass and other organic matter are left to decay within the project boundary and methane is emitted to the atmosphere, e.g. solid waste disposal site (SWDS). For project activities that increase capacity utilization at existing facilities, project participant(s) shall demonstrate that special efforts are made to increase the capacity utilization, that the existing facility meets all applicable laws and regulations and that the existing facility is not included in a separate CDM project activity. The special efforts should be identified and described.
Emissions calculation Baseline emissions Depending on the type of waste to be composted, the baseline emissions are determined according to respective tools or guidelines a) For solid waste, the Tool based on FOD model shall be followed b) For animal manure, the method based on animal number/type in AMS-III.D shall be followed; c) For wastewater, the method based on COD in AMS-III.H shall be followed. Key Project emissions CO2 emissions due to incremental transportation distances; CO2 emissions from electricity and/or fossil fuel consumption by the project; Methane emissions during composting process; Methane emissions from runoff water; Emission reductions Baseline emissions Project emissions.
Monitoring requirements Key parameters monitored Quantity of waste biologically treated and its composition through representative sampling; When project includes co-composting of wastewater, the volume of co-treated wastewater and its COD content through representative sampling; Oxygen content during the composting process through repetitive sampling; Annual amount of fossil fuel or electricity used to operate the facilities or auxiliary equipment; Proper conditions and procedures ensuring that no methane emissions will be resulted, for cases where produced compost is handled aerobically and submitted to soil application

Overview
Applicability Technology/measures in III.G Landfill gas is collected, then used for thermal, mechanical, electrical energy generation (type I meth), or simply flared
Baseline identification The baseline scenario is the situation where, in the absence of the project activity, biomass and other organic matter are left to decay within the project boundary and methane is emitted to the atmosphere. Baseline emissions shall exclude methane emissions that would have to be removed to comply with national or local safety requirement or legal regulations
Emissions calculation Baseline emissions It is determined by following the Tool to determine methane emissions avoided from disposal of waste at a solid waste disposal site Key Project emissions CO2 emissions from electricity and/or fossil fuel consumption by the project; Methane emissions from the flaring process where applicable, by following the Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane Emission reductions Baseline emissions Project emissions.
Monitoring requirements Key parameters monitored Quantity of waste landfilled and its composition through representative sampling; Annual amount of fossil fuel or electricity used to operate the facilities or auxiliary equipment; Landfill gas flowrate and methane content The parameters indicating the operation of the flare system, as specified in the Tool, e.g. the temperature of the exhaust gas of the flare
