UNFCCC's Two Approaches for Landfill Methane Utilization
UNFCCC offers two approaches for landfill methane projects: the Simplified Approach and ACM0001 Approach. The former is for flaring gas without utilization, while the latter covers all landfill types with energy generation. Specific requirements and information are detailed for each approach.

SBL submission options Landfill sector: methane destruction + energy generation Karla Sol s Team Lead Regional Collaboration Centre St. George s Regional Workshop on CDM & NAMAs 1st September 2014 UNFCCC Secretariat
Background To facilitate submissions of proposed standardized baselines, the UNFCCC secretariat prepared specific templates to be submitted by DNAs interested in having SB for the waste sector
Two options DNAs may choose to apply one of two approaches for the PSB: Simplified approach following the Guidelines for the establishment of sector specific standardized baselines Encompassing approach following ACM0001 Flaring or use of landfill gas Both options are only relevant for projects capturing landfill gas, and not to other types of waste management. These would require a different SB
Simplified approach The Simplified approach: Follows the provisions in the Guidelines for the establishment of sector specific standardized baselines Applicable only to projects flaring landfill gas without thermal or electric utilisation Requires only small effort to propose, as little additional information is required
Simplified approach Information required: Current national / regional regulations regarding landfill operation, particularly regarding landfill gas QA/QC measures to ensure the regulations information is substantiated
ACM0001 approach The encompassing approach: Follows the applicability criteria of ACM0001 Applicable for all types of landfills, also with thermal energy or electricity generation Requires additional effort to propose, as additional information regarding the current waste disposal is required
ACM0001 approach Elements to be standardized Additionality demonstration Baseline identification Baseline emission/removal estimation Applicability of the proposed standardized baseline For whole country or region Additionality demonstration The LFG to power up to 10 MW; The LFG to heat for internal or external consumption; The LFG is flared.
ACM0001 approach Baseline identification Atmospheric release of the LFG Electricity (grid/ off-grid) Heat (natural gas with 100% efficiency) Applicability Alternative use of waste. No SWDSs (solid waste disposal sites) generate electricity and/or heat Baseline emission estimation Fraction of LFG captured and destroyed in the baseline (if any)
ACM0001 approach Information required: Current national / regional regulations regarding landfill operation, particularly regarding landfill gas and recycling For the landfills currently operating: Amount of waste disposed whether landfill gas is captured, how much, what for How much power/heat were generated QA/QC measures for all of the above
