28A  Methane destroyed in biomethane produced by project biomethane facilities

         The volume of methane sent out from project biomethane facility f during a reporting period, BCf, in cubic metres, is worked out using the formula (equation 14):

       where:

       k is a biogas upgrading system that is part of project biomethane facility f.

       QBM, k is the total volume of biomethane sent out by biogas upgrading system k during the reporting period, in cubic metres, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

       WBM, CH4, k is the proportion of QBM, k that is methane, expressed as a fraction, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

       TLBM, f is the transport loss factor for biomethane produced by project biomethane facility f, expressed as a fraction, which is:
           (a) if all biomethane produced by the biogas upgrading system f during the reporting period is consumed at the project landfill or project biomethane facility—zero; or
           (b) otherwise—0.02.

            Note: TLBM accounts for methane that is not combusted due to gas lost in transport of biomethane.

       DEBM is the methane destruction efficiency for biomethane produced by a biogas upgrading system, expressed as a fraction, which is 0.98.
