Two Methodologies added Nitric Acid – Monitoring Complexity CFL Distribution – PoA Character and Huge Complexity Definition of seven Methodology Bundles for Analysis In addition to the methodologies in Table 6, we included two methodologies in the assessment, even though they currently do not meet the 5 % criterion 220 . AM0034 (Catalytic reduction of N 2 O inside the ammonia burner of nitric acid plants – Version 2) was considered to be worth attention, because it has recently been applied to a number of projects and has unusual, quite demanding monitoring requirements. The second additional methodology is AM0046 (Distribution of efficient light bulbs to households – Version 1). It was chosen because of its important role of being a precedent for CDM programmes of activities. It is also notable for its huge complexity and the fact that it might never be used as project developers will prefer using small-scale methodology AMS-II.C instead. In order to show commonalities and differences as well as interactions among methodologies of a similar category, the selected methodologies were subsumed into 7 bundles. To enable a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of newly consolidated ACM0012 in bundle 3, the underlying, withdrawn methodology ACM0004 needed to be taken into account. All bundles with the related methodologies are depicted in Table 7. Table 7: Bundles of approved methodologies to be assessed Bundle 1: Grid-connected power generation • AM0029 • ACM0002 • AMS-I.D Bundle 2: Industrial gases • AM0001 • AM0021 • AM0034 Bundle 3: Energy efficiency • AM0046 • ACM0012 (ACM0004) • AMS-II.D Bundle 4: Methane recovery/avoidance • ACM0001 • AMS-III.D • AMS-III.E Bundle 5: Coal bed/mine methane • ACM0008 Bundle 6: Biomass generation • ACM0006 Bundle 7: Thermal energy for users • AMS-I.C 220 In an update of the guidebook, we could look at the biofuel methodology AM0047. If its applicability conditions are expanded, it could eventually give rise to an important CDM project category. Secondly, it touches upon many new issues (emissions from cultivation of biomass, exports of biomass to industrialized countries). 43
