16  Requirements for a displacement electricity production project
 (1) This section sets out requirements for a displacement electricity production project.
 (2) The project:
 (a) must install and operate an electricity production device; and
 (b) may install and operate a flaring or flameless oxidation device.
 (3) If some of the methane component of coal mine waste gas from the mine has been converted by one or more existing electricity production devices at the application time, the proponent must have provided a statement at the application time as to:
 (a) the sum of the recognised capacity of all existing electricity production devices for the coal mine waste gas project at the point of the highest total recognised capacity of all of the existing devices in the period between 24 April 2014 and the application time; and
 (b) the recognised capacity of each existing device at that point.
Note: Unlike a new electricity production project, an expansion electricity production project or a transitioning electricity production project, the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a displacement electricity production project generally does not take into account abatement from the conversion of the methane component of coal mine waste gas. Only the abatement from displacing electricity is taken into account. The exception to this is abatement from the conversion of methane from a conversion device that uses ventilation air methane as its primary fuel source.
