9A  Applications about other projects

       (1) This section applies to the following:

            (a) the section 22 application or section 128 application for a biomethane conversion and displacement project or biomethane displacement-only project;

            (b) the section 22 application for a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project or restarting biomethane displacement-only project.

       (2) An application to which this section applies must include the following information:

            (a) which project type the project will be;

            (b) which project activities will be carried out as part of the project;

            (c) if the application relates to a biomethane conversion and displacement project or a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project—a description of at least one project treatment facility that will be used in the project and the following details about each project treatment facility that will be used in the project:
               (i) a brief description of the facility:
               (ii) the location of the facility;
               (iii) the capacity of the facility, in ML or m3 of organic effluent treated by the facility per year;
               (iv) any known proposals for the expansion of the facility over the course of the project;
               (v) the basis upon which the facility is expected to comply with the requirements of this Part and section 7;
               (vi) if the facility is to treat organic effluent by emissions avoidance—a description of the proposed solids separation devices and post-diversion treatments to be applied;

                  Note: Project treatment facilities may also be adopted later, provided that they are documented in accordance with Part 5.
            (d) a description of at least one project biomethane facility that will be used in the project and the following details about each project biomethane facility that will be used in the project:
                (i) a brief description of the facility;
                (ii) the location of the facility;
                (iii) the capacity of the facility, in m3 of biomethane produced by the facility per year;
                (iv) any known proposals for the expansion of the facility over the course of the project;
                (v) the intended recipients of biomethane produced by the project biomethane facility;
                (vi) the basis upon which the facility is expected to comply with the requirements of this Part and section 7;

                  Note: Project biomethane facilities may also be adopted later, provided that they are documented in accordance with Part 5.
            (e) a description of at least one biogas upgrading system that will be used in the project and the following details of each biogas upgrading system that will be used in the project:
                (i) a brief description of the system;
                (ii) the location of the system;
            (f) a declaration from the project proponent that biomethane produced by project biomethane facilities can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute;
