26  Proportion of methane that is generated by eligible wastewater

       (1) The proportion of methane generated at project treatment facility t that is generated by eligible wastewater for the project during a reporting period (WEW,t) is:
          (a) if both of the conditions in subsection (2) are satisfied for the reporting period—1;
          (b) if one or both of the conditions in subsection (2) are not satisfied for the reporting period—worked out using equation 6.

       (2) The conditions are as follows:
          (a) the volume of an individual type of ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,w,t) does not exceed 0.5% of the total volume of material treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,t);
          (b) the volume of all ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (ƩwQMat,w,t) is less than 2% of the total volume of material treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,t);

       where QMat,w,t and QMat,t are worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements and w is a type of ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period.

       (3) The following formula is equation 6:

       where:

       t is a project treatment facility.

       WEW,t means the proportion of methane generated at project treatment facility t that is generated by eligible wastewater for the project during the reporting period.

       MEW,t means methane generated by eligible wastewater at project treatment facility t for the project during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 7 (section 27).

       MIM,t means methane generated by ineligible material at project treatment facility t for the project during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 8 (section 28).
