New transportation fuel switch methodology approved
VCS has approved a new methodology to quantify and credit GHG emission reductions from projects that substitute gasoline with ethanol in commercial fleets of flex-fuel vehicles.
The methodology - VM0019: Fuel Switch from Gasoline to Ethanol in Flex-Fuel Vehicle Fleets - was developed by Keyassociados and Ecofrotas.
Projects may apply the methodology if E100 ethanol substitutes at least 95% of the gasoline consumed by an existing fleet of commercial flex-fuel vehicles.
The methodology was assessed by two validation/verification bodies under the VCS methodology approval process: DNV and First Environment. All assessment reports and other documents, along with the methodology itself, are available on the VM0019 page of the VCS website.
VCS, Keyassociados and First Environment will host a webinar on 12 July from 2-3 am AEST to introduce stakeholders to the methodology. To register for the webinar, click here.
