ACM0005 - Increasing the Blend in Cement Production • Applicable for projects, that increase the share of additives (i.e. reduce the share of clinker beyond current practices in the country) • Additives are defined as materials blended with clinker to produce blended cement types and include fly ash, gypsum, slag, etc. • Applicable under the following conditions • There is no shortage of additives related to the lack of blending materials. Project • Participants should demonstrate that there is no alternative allocation or use for the additional amount of additives used in the project activity. If the surplus availability of additives is not substantiated the project emissions reductions (ERs) will be discounted. • This methodology is applicable to domestically sold output of the project activity plant and excludes export of blended cement. • Adequate data are available on cement types in the market.
ACM0015 - Using alternative raw materials in cement kilns Applicable to • project activities that use alternative raw materials that do not containcarbonates (AMC) in cement kilns for the production of clinker. The AMC partially or fully substitutesraw materials that contain calcium and/or magnesium carbonates (e.g. limestone). • existing as well as to greenfield plants Under the following additional conditions: • Use of alternative materials shall increase neither the capacity of clinker production nor the lifetimeof equipment • Type and quality of produced clinker remain the same • Alternative raw materials have never been used in the clinker manufacturing facility prior to theimplementation of the project activity; • There is sufficient historical information about the clinker manufacturing facility, the raw materialsused, and energy performance of the kiln. Is not applicable for the following activities: • Energy efficiency initiatives for improvements in process equipment (up-grade towers, grindingseparators, burners, expert control systems, etc.); • Fuel switching.See ACM0015 for more details.
ACM0003 - Partial substitution of fossil fuels withalternative fuels or less carbonintensive fuels in cement manufacture Applicable to • activities in the cement industry where fossil fuel(s) used in anexistingclinker production facility are partially replaced by one or more carbon intensive fossil fuel(s)and/or alternative fuels. The following conditions shall apply • A significant investment is required to enable the use of the alternative fuel(s) and/or the less carbonintensive fossil fuel(s); • During the last three years prior to the start of the project activity, no alternative fuels have been usedin the project plant; • The CO2 emissions reduction relates to CO2 emissions generated from fuel combustion only and isunrelated to the CO2 emissions from decarbonisation of raw materials (i.e. CaCO3 and MgCO3 bearingminerals); • The methodology is applicable only for installed capacity (expressed in tons clinker/year) that exists bythe time of validation of the project activity. • In case of project activities using biomass residues, renewable biomass or biomass from dedicated plantations, additional applicabilityconditions apply
AM0024 - Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization forPower Generation at cement plants Applicable to project activities that use waste heat gas generated in clinker makingprocess (i.e. in the cement kilns) to produce electricity. Applicable under the following conditions • The electricity produced is used within the cement works where the proposed project activity is locatedand excess electricity is supplied to the grid; no electricity export to the gridin the baseline scenario (in case of existing captive power plant); • Electricity generated under the project activity displaces either grid electricity or from an identifiedspecific generation source. Identified specific generation source could be either an existing captivepower generation source or new generation source; • The grid or identified specific generation source option is clearly identifiable; • Waste heat is only to be used in the project activity, etc. NOT applicable to project activities • Where the current use of waste heat or the identified alternative business as usual use of waste heat is • located outside of the clinker making process • that affect process emissions from cement plants.
