5  Definitions
  In this determination:

       2015 LFG determination means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative—Landfill Gas) Methodology Determination 2015.

       Act means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.

       anaerobic digestion means a biological process in which organic matter is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen.

       biogas means a mixture of gases including methane that is generated as a result of anaerobic digestion and includes landfill gas.

       biogas source facility, in relation to a project, means a facility that supplies biogas to be treated as part of the project so as to produce biomethane and includes:
           (a) a facility producing biogas for a project biomethane facility; and
           (b) in cases where the biogas is produced at a project biomethane facility—that project biomethane facility.

            Note: A biomethane facility can be its own biogas source facility if the biomethane facility also produces biogas to be treated by carrying out biomethane production.

       biogas upgrading means the process by which biogas is refined and stripped of impurities to produce biomethane, which may include (but is not limited to):
           (a) pre-treatment processing of biogas; or
           (b) the drying or scrubbing of biogas; or
           (c) post-treatment processing compression of the refined biomethane produced by the process.

       biogas upgrading system means a system of equipment that is capable of undertaking biogas upgrading.

       biogas waste means putrescible organic waste material that can be treated through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas.

       biomethane means a high-methane content gas that is:
           (a) produced by biogas upgrading; and
           (b) suitable for use as a natural gas substitute.

       biomethane conversion and displacement project has the meaning given by section 12B.

       biomethane displacement-only project has the meaning given by section 12C.

       biomethane facility means a facility:
           (a) at which biomethane production is undertaken or intended to be undertaken; and
           (b) from which the resulting biomethane is sent, or is proposed to be sent, to an end use where it can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute.

            Note 1: If biogas upgrading occurs at the project landfill, the project landfill may also be a biomethane facility.

            Note 2: Biomethane facilities that are used in a landfill gas (electricity generation) project that involve landfill gas capture for biomethane become known as project biomethane facilities.

            Note 3: The section 22 application or section 128 application for a biomethane conversion and displacement project or a biomethane displacement-only project, and the section 22 application for a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project or a restarting biomethane displacement-only project, must include details of at least one project biomethane facility (see paragraphs 13B(2)(d)).

       biomethane production has the meaning given by subsection 8A(3).

       carbon tax waste, in relation to a landfill, means
