the project conversion abatement from emissions destruction activities for the project landfill in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 4.

            Note: AP, ED excludes the abatement associated with methane sent to biogas upgrading systems during the reporting period.

       AB means the baseline conversion abatement for the project landfill in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 15.

       PELFG-BM means the emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane activities for the reporting period for the project landfill in the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 23A.

       γ is the factor, used in Part 5.3 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination, that converts cubic metres of methane to tonnes CO2‑e at standard conditions.

            Note: In 2021, γ was 6.784 x 10-4 x 28.

       f is a project biomethane facility.

       BCf (biomethane combusted) is the volume of methane sent out from project biomethane facility f during the reporting period, calculated using equation 14 (section 28A).

        (5) If, during a reporting period, the project landfill:
           (a) sends landfill gas to a biogas upgrading system; and
           (b) either:
              (i) the landfill gas is used for a purpose other than biogas upgrading to produce biomethane that can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute; or
              (ii) the biomethane produced from biogas upgrading cannot be reasonably expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute;

         Aconversion for the project landfill is taken to be zero.

        (6) If, during a reporting period, a project biomethane facility produces biomethane that cannot be reasonably expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute, BCf for the project biomethane facility is taken to be zero.
