33A  General information that must be included in offsets report

         An offsets report for a reporting period for a project must include the following information:
           (a) if the project type is different from the type nominated in the section 22 application or section 128 application for the project or in a previous offsets report:
              (i) the date on which the project type changed; and
              (ii) details about how the project meets the requirements of the changed project type, in accordance with sections 12A to 12E;
           (b) a list of the project activities that were carried out at the project landfill or each project biomethane facility (as the case may be) involved in the project including:
              (i) details of any additional project activity that began to be carried out after the section 22 application or section 128 application was made or since an offsets report was given to the Regulator, and the date on which it commenced; and
              (ii) details of any project activity that had previously been carried out, that has stopped being carried out since an offsets report was given to the Regulator, and the date on which it stopped;
           (c) a description of the sources of project emissions;
           (d) if landfill gas capture for biomethane has been carried out as part of the project—evidence that biogas sent to biogas upgrading systems is used to produce biomethane that can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute;
               Note: Evidence that biomethane produced by the project can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute may include invoices or other records of commercial transactions in which biomethane is traded as a substitute for natural gas for a use that results in its combustion.
           (e) if biomethane production has been carried out as part of the project:
              (i) details of the source of any biogas treated during the reporting period;
              (ii) details of the biogas upgrading systems used for the project;
              (iii) details about the end use, or anticipated end use, of the biomethane produced during the reporting period;
              (iv) details about the measurement of the volume of biomethane sent out by biogas upgrading systems (QBM, k) in accordance with the monitoring requirements, and the point at which biomethane flow is measured;
              (v) a declaration from the project proponent that biomethane produced by all project biomethane facilities involved in the project during the reporting period can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute.
