21  Net abatement amount
 (1) The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a new flaring or flameless oxidation project for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out:
 (a) if there has been no historic abatement—using subsection (2); or
 (b) if there has been historic abatement that is not material abatement—using subsection (3).

No historic abatement
 (2) The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for the new flaring or flameless oxidation project for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 1):
where:
AN means the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for the new flaring or flameless oxidation project for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
AP means the project emissions abated for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 3.

Historic abatement that is not material abatement
 (3) The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for the new flaring or flameless oxidation project for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 2):
where:
AN means the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for the new flaring or flameless oxidation project for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
AP means the project emissions abated for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 3.
AH means the historic abatement from the conversion of the methane component of coal mine waste gas from the mine, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 35.
T means the total number of days in the reporting period.
 (4) The project emissions abated for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 3):
where:
AP means the project emissions abated for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
MCom means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas converted by the project in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 4.
EMD means the emissions from the methane component of coal mine waste gas converted by the project in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 5.
EAn means the ancillary project emissions for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 36.
 (5) The volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas converted by the project in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 4):
where:
MCom means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas converted by the project in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
γ means the factor for converting a quantity of methane from cubic metres to tonnes CO2‑e in section 3.21 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
DE means the factor for OFif in section
