32  Project treatment facility project emissions

       (1) The project emissions for project treatment facility t for a reporting period, EP, conversion, t (in in tonnes CO2-e) is worked out using the formula (equation 11):

       where:

       t is a project treatment facility.

       EP, conversion, t means the project emissions for project treatment facility t for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.

       EF, conversion, t means the emissions from fuel used at project treatment facility t  during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 12.

       EEP, conversion, t means the emissions from purchased electricity used at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 13 (section 34).

       EAD, t means the emissions from anaerobic digester leakage or venting events at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out in accordance with section 35.

       ECom, t means the methane combustion emissions from methane destroyed by combustion devices or taken to have been destroyed by biogas upgrading systems for project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out in accordance with section 37.

       EUpgrade, t means the production and transport emissions from methane sent to biogas upgrading systems at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out in accordance with section 37B.

       EDig, t means the emissions from the end management of the digestate treated at project treatment facility t during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 17 (section 38).

       (2) In determining EF, conversion, t and EPE, conversion, t, emissions associated with biogas upgrading should be disregarded, including emissions from the operation of biogas upgrading systems and any downstream transport emissions during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 26 (section 41L).

            Note: This ensures that double counting of project emissions does not occur. Project emissions from fuel and electricity used in biogas upgrading systems is accounted for when working out net displacement abatement in Division 3 of this Part.
