Search # Biodiesel production and usage # Adopt nitrogen stabilizers CDM AMS-III.AK is a UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism methodology that quantifies GHG reductions from production and use of biofuels in transport. Proba has approved it for projects that can verify fuel consumption, using a well-to-wheel boundary and conservative UN/IPCC factors. ![CDM Biodiesel methodology](https://proba.earth/hubfs/CDM%20Biodiesel%20methodology.png "CDM Biodiesel methodology") ## CDM AMS-III.AK: Biodiesel production and use for transport applications Date of Issue: March 1, 2018 Developer: UNFCCC CDM Approved for use by Proba [View methodology](https://cdm.unfccc.int/methodologies/DB/LNFDO5DUYAJHKH8DJCRNHTZB9E7P1C) Projects must demonstrate that biofuels are used in transport as a direct replacement for fossil fuels. Consumption must be evidenced through measured fuel data or through third-party invoices. In addition, projects need to prove regulatory surplus and prevent double-counting or leakage through contracts and monitoring systems. This approach is particularly suited to logistical or agricultural interventions, including insetting contexts. How to get started with Proba? We begin with a call to confirm AMS-III.AK fits your operation. If eligible, we’ll help design the project documentation covering baseline, monitoring, and risks. An independent validator reviews the design, you implement and monitor fuel use, and an accredited verifier confirms results. Proba then issues credits under the Proba Standard. Contact us via [hello@proba.earth](mailto:hello@proba.earth) if you want to start a GHG project. ### Relevant documents: ![Untitled design - 2025-09-29T095826.018-1](https://proba.earth/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-29T095826.018-1.png?width=192&height=192&name=Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-29T095826.018-1.png) ## CDM Methodology [Download](https://proba.earth/hubfs/EB98_repan07_AMS-III.AK%20(1).pdf?hsLang=en) ![Untitled design - 2025-09-29T095826.018](https://proba.earth/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-29T095826.018.png?width=192&height=192&name=Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-29T095826.018.png) ## Methodology approval document [Download](https://proba.earth/hubfs/Approval%20of%20methodology_%20CDM%20AMS-III.AK.%20-%20Biofuel%20production%20and%20use%20for%20transport%20applications.docx?hsLang=en) ![Subheading (5)](https://proba.earth/hs-fs/hubfs/Subheading%20(5).png?width=317&name=Subheading%20(5).png "Subheading (5)") [Laan van Kronenburg 14, 1183 AS Amstelveen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aKif8v1k5m9h2zA37)   Food companies are asking for certified Scope 3 reductions.
