8B  Project types and sub-types

       (1) A landfill gas (electricity generation) project that is an eligible offsets project may be of one of the following types (which are called project types in this determination):
           (a) a non-biomethane project;
           (b) a biomethane conversion and displacement project;
           (c) a biomethane displacement-only project;
           (d) a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project;
           (e) a restarting biomethane displacement-only project.

       (2) A non-biomethane project or a biomethane conversion and displacement project must be of one of the following types (which are called project sub-types in this determination):
           (a) a new project;
           (b) a recommencing project;
           (c) an upgrade project;
           (d) a transitioning project;
           (e) a transitioning (continued) project;
           (f) a transitioning (new) project;
           (g) a transitioning (recommencing) project;
           (h) a transitioning (upgrade) project.

            Note 1: Section 12D sets out which project sub-type a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project is to be credited as, based on its forerunner project.

            Note 2: The project sub-type is relevant for working out the baseline conversion abatement in accordance with Subdivision 4 of Division 2 of Part 4.

            Note 3: Biomethane displacement-only projects and restarting biomethane displacement-only projects do not have project sub-types as the net abatement for these project types does not involve conversion abatement.

       (3) If the Regulator approves a section 128 application for an eligible offsets project that was a transitioning project (within the meaning of the 2015 LFG determination) when the application was made, that project is a transitioning (continued) project (with effect from the start of the reporting period in which the application was made).

       (4) If the Regulator approves a section 128 application for an eligible offsets project that was a new project (within the meaning of the 2015 LFG determination) when the application was made, that project is a transitioning (new) project (with effect from the start of the reporting period in which the application was made).

       (5) If the Regulator approves a section 128 application for an eligible offsets project that was a recommencing project (within the meaning of the 2015 LFG determination) when the application was made, that project is a transitioning (recommencing) project (with effect from the start of the reporting period in which the application was made).

       (6) If the Regulator approves a section 128 application for an eligible offsets project that was an upgrade project (within the meaning of the 2015 LFG determination) when the application was made, that project is a transitioning (upgrade) project (with effect from the start of the reporting period in which the application was made).

            Note: Crediting for relevant transitioning (upgrade) projects would consider 2 years or, if data is available to the project proponent for that period, 3 years of previous data
