31  Proportion of methane that would have been combusted without the project

       New, recommencing, transitioning (new) or transitioning (recommencing) project

        (1) If the project is a new project, a recommencing project, a transitioning (new) project or a transitioning (recommencing) project, the proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during a reporting period that would have been combusted without the project is worked out using the formula (equation 16):

       where:

       WB means the proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project.

       WB, Reg means the regulatory proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project as determined using Schedule 1 to this determination.

       WB, Def means the default proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project, which is as follows:
           (a) 0% if the project proponent can demonstrate that, since 24 March 2011, the landfill concerned has not been subject to:
              (i) legislation or regulatory guidelines for landfill; or
              (ii) a licence condition or development approval that includes any form of general or specific qualitative requirement to collect, control, manage or limit landfill gas, methane odour or greenhouse gases;
           (b) otherwise—30%.

       Upgrade or transitioning (upgrade) project

        (2) If the project is an upgrade project or a transitioning (upgrade) project, the proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during a reporting period that would have been combusted without the project is worked out using the formula (equation 17):

       where:

       WB means the proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project.

       WB, Reg means the regulatory proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project determined using Schedule 1 to this determination.

       WB, Def has the same meaning as in subsection (1).

       WB, Ex means the proportion of the methane combusted or taken to be combusted during the reporting period that would have been combusted without the project worked out using equation 20.

       Transitioning project or transitioning (continued) project

        (3) If the project is:
           (a) a transitioning project that was operating under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) (Capture and Combustion of Methane in Landfill Gas from Legacy Waste) Methodology Determination 2012 (the legacy determination); or
           (b) a transitioning (continued) project that was operating under the legacy determination and subsequently under the 2015 LFG determination; or
           (c) a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project whose forerunner project was, at
