The author considers scalar multidimensional nonlinear conservation laws and their reformulation as a kinetic equation by introducing an additional variable. For a discretization in time-similar to A. Chorin's projection method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation [Math. Comput. 22, 745-761 (1968)], convergence is proved. The scheme under consideration coincides for the Burgers equation with the so-called transport collapse method. The new convergence proof is based upon the analysis of the evolution of the entropy gap between the solution to the free transport equation and its Maxwellian. There is no need for bounded variation. Nevertheless, the convergence is weak\(^*\) in \(L^\infty\). Finally, the author argues why an extension of the proof to a more general kinetic scheme fails.
