is:
           (a) if the project treatment facility net abatement amount for project treatment facility h calculated using equation 2 (section 22) is greater than or equal to zero—that amount; and
           (b) if that amount is less than zero—zero.

       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 6A (section 24A).

       (6)  However, if a project treatment facility does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of section 16 during the reporting period:
          (a) Aconversion, h for the project treatment facility is taken to be zero; and

          (b) for each project biomethane facility that received biogas from that project treatment facility—BCf for the project treatment facility is taken to be zero.

       (7)  If, during the reporting period, a project treatment facility:
           (a) sends biogas to a biogas upgrading system; and

           (b) either:
                (i) the biogas 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 reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute;
          Aconversion, h for the project treatment facility is taken to be zero.

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