7  Landfill gas (electricity generation) projects
(1) For aragraph 106(1)(a) of the Act, this determination applies to an offsets project in which either or both of the following occur, in a way that can be reasonably expected to result in eligible carbon abatement:
           (a) landfill gas is collected and treated in a way that destroys methane; or
           (b) landfill gas, with or without biogas produced from other biogas waste, is treated by biogas upgrading at a biomethane facility to produce biomethane which is then sent to an end use where it can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute.
 (2) However, an offsets project that collects landfill gas and combusts it with a flare is not covered by subsection (1) if the project:
 (a) was previously an eligible offsets project covered by a methodology determination (the first determination) other than this determination; and
 (b) during its crediting period or periods under the first determination, generated electricity by collecting and combusting landfill gas from a landfill; and
 (c) was declared as an eligible offsets project under the first determination on the basis that:
 (i) it would not generate electricity from landfill gas after its declaration as an eligible offsets project under the first determination; and
 (ii) it would have a crediting period greater than zero under the first determination.
 (3) A project covered by subsection (1) is a landfill gas (electricity generation) project.
