31  Volume of methane sent to conversion devices

Methane sent to flaring or flameless oxidation devices
 (1) The volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to installed and existing flaring or flameless oxidation devices as part of the project during time interval t less the baseline for the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to flaring or flameless oxidation devices for the project, in cubic metres, is worked out using the formula (equation 23):
where:
XFl,t means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to installed and existing flaring or flameless oxidation devices as part of the project during time interval t less the baseline for the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to flaring or flameless oxidation devices for the project, in cubic metres.
QCH4,m,t means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to device m as part of the project during time interval t, in cubic metres, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
Om,t means a binary function which has the value 1 if device m is operating during time interval t and 0 if it is not.
Note: Operating is defined in section 5.
QCH4,h,t means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to flaring or flameless oxidation device h as part of the project during time interval t, in cubic metres, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
Oh,t means a binary function which has the value 1 if device h is operating during time interval t and 0 if it is not.
Note: Operating is defined in section 5.
BCH4,Fl means the baseline for the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to flaring or flameless oxidation devices for the project during time interval t, in cubic meters, worked out using equation 37.
m means an existing flaring or flameless oxidation device.
h means an installed flaring or flameless oxidation device.
t means a time interval in the reporting period.

Methane sent to electricity production devices
 (3) The volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to installed and existing electricity production devices as part of the project during time interval t less the baseline for the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to electricity production devices for the project, in cubic metres, is worked out using the formula (equation 24):
where:
XGen,t means the volume of the methane component of coal mine waste gas sent to installed and existing electricity production devices as part of the project during time interval t less the baseline for the methane component of coal mine waste
