46  Emissions from combustion devices
  The emissions from combustion devices used by a waste treatment facility or unit during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 21):
where:
ECom,f means the emissions from combustion devices used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
MSent,h means the volume of methane sent to combustion device h, in cubic metres, worked out in accordance with section 44.
ECBG means the energy content factor, in gigajoules per cubic metre, mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination for sludge biogas that is captured for combustion (methane only).
EFj means the emission factor, in kilograms of CO2‑e per gigajoule, mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination for greenhouse gas type j and sludge biogas that is captured for combustion (methane only).
f means a waste treatment facility or unit that is a nominated waste treatment facility or unit for the source separation activity during the reporting period.
h means a combustion device used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period.
j means a greenhouse gas type, being methane or nitrous oxide.
