17  Amount of captured greenhouse gases
 (1) The amount of greenhouse gases captured for permanent storage by the project during a reporting period in the crediting period, in tonnes CO2-e, is worked out using the formula (equation 2):
  CGG  =  ∑j Volj  ×  γj
  where:
  CGG means the amount of greenhouse gases captured for permanent storage by the project during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.
  Volj means the quantity of greenhouse gas type j captured for permanent storage by the project during the reporting period at one or more capture points used by the project, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 3.
  γj means the factor for converting a quantity of greenhouse gas type j from cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature to CO2-e tonnes, being:
 (a) for methane—6.784 × 10-4 × GWPCH4; and
 (b) for carbon dioxide—1.861 × 10-3; and
 (c)  for nitrous oxide—1.861 × 10-3 × GWPN2O.
 (2) Conversion of a quantity of greenhouse gas to a quantity under standard conditions of pressure and temperature must be made in a manner that is consistent with the requirements in subsection 2.32(7) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
