Ex post: The main parameters that need to be recorded throughout the<br />
project cycle are:<br />
• The quantity of methane captured by the project activity;<br />
Methane Quantity<br />
Measurement<br />
Equipment<br />
to measure<br />
Methane Fraction,<br />
Temperature and<br />
Pressure<br />
• The quantity of methane flared by the project activity;<br />
• The quantity of methane used to generate energy;<br />
• The total quantity of methane generated by the project activity;<br />
• The energy generated by the project (electric or thermal);<br />
• The energy consumed by the project activity coming from fossil fuel<br />
sources.<br />
Additionally, ACM0001 gives the following monitoring guidelines:<br />
• The fraction of methane in the landfill should be measured with a<br />
continuously analyzer if possible, or with periodical measurements at a<br />
95% confident level;<br />
• Temperature and pressure of the landfill gas must be recorded in order to<br />
assess methane density;<br />
• In cases where the project baseline requires the partial capture of landfill<br />
gas for safety or odour concerns, the fossil fuel used in the baseline<br />
scenario should be accounted for.<br />
