Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. AF.A23.1 specifies independently reportable outcomes—a project count and a proportion—alongside required project-level integration-type detail. It is not the same construct as the climate-opportunity alignment shortlist item because it measures operational integration of alternative-fuel projects rather than alignment of assets or activities with a climate-opportunity definition. A structured table preserves the distinct count, percentage, project, and integration-type fields without inventing a single common unit.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Disclose the population of alternative-fuel projects used as the denominator for the reported proportion.
  • Disclose criteria used to determine whether a project is co-located or operationally integrated with an existing facility.
  • For each qualifying project, specify the integration type, including whether shared water intake, water treatment, desalination infrastructure, recycled wastewater, or another integration arrangement is used.
  • Disclose treatment of joint ventures, leased assets, projects under development, and projects with multiple integration arrangements.
  • Attribute the underlying requirement to TNFD Additional Sector Guidance, Additional sector metric AF.A23.1.

Record-specific limitations

  • The source specifies examples of integration types but does not prescribe a closed classification taxonomy.
  • The source requires a proportion of alternative-fuel projects but does not provide further rules for project eligibility, ownership treatment, or treatment of projects under development.
  • Projects can have more than one integration type; the project count and integration-type detail should not be interpreted as mutually exclusive unless disclosed.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
