34  Volume of methane sent to conversion device
 (1) The volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to device i as part of the project in the reporting period, in cubic metres, is worked out using the formula (equation 26):
where:
QCH4,i means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to device i as part of the project in the reporting period, in cubic metres.
QEG,i means the quantity of electricity produced by device i in the reporting period, in megawatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
FMWh→GJ has the value of 3.6.
Note: This is the factor converting energy in megawatt hours to gigajoules.
Effi means the electrical efficiency of device i, which, subject to subsection (2), has:
 (a) the value specified by the manufacturer of the device in the technical specifications for the equipment, with reference to Australian Standard AS 4594.1 or equivalent; or
 (b) the default value of 0.36.
ECCMWG means the energy content factor of coal mine waste gas, in gigajoules per cubic metre, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
i means:
 (a) in the case of a transitioning electricity production project—a former RET electricity production device operated as part of the project; or
 (b) in the case of any other coal mine waste gas project—an installed electricity production device.
 (2) The same value of Effi must be used for that parameter for all time intervals in all reporting periods.
