Proba methodologies

PM.0001 Short rotation paulownia tree cultivation

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by cultivating fast-growing paulownia trees in short rotations, which capture carbon through rapid biomass growth and store it in durable wood products.

PM.0004 Adoption of nitrogen stabilizers to transition to low-carbon agriculture

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by adopting nitrogen stabilizers, which slow nitrogen transformations in soil, improving nutrient efficiency and reducing direct and indirect nitrous oxide emissions.

CDM AMS-III.AK.: Biodiesel product and use for transport applications - Version 3.0

This is a Proba-approved methodology adapted from the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), approved for use on fuel consumption rather than production.

PM.0002 Adoption of low-emission fertilizer technologies to transition to low-carbon agriculture 

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by adopting low-emission fertilizer technologies, which improve production efficiency and lower cradle-to-gate emissions compared to conventional fertilizers.

PM.0003 Use of low-carbon building materials to transition to low-carbon construction

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by using low-carbon building materials, which replace carbon-intensive options like cement and steel with alternatives that have a smaller production footprint.

PM.0005 Adoption of controlled-release fertilizer to transition to low-carbon agriculture

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by adopting controlled-release fertilizers, which release nutrients gradually, improving nitrogen uptake and lowering nitrous oxide emissions.

PM.0006 Use of waste recovery to transition to a circular economy

This methodology quantifies greenhouse gas reductions by using waste recovery, which diverts organic and industrial byproducts into new uses, reducing emissions from disposal and displacing virgin materials.
