23  Methane generation potential of degradable organic carbon content in eligible waste
  The methane generation potential of the degradable organic carbon content in eligible waste processed during a reporting period, in tonnes CH4, is worked out using the formula (equation 4):
where:
MB means the methane generation potential of the degradable organic carbon content in eligible waste processed during the reporting period, in tonnes CH4.
WMw means the quantity of waste mix type w present in the eligible waste, in tonnes, worked out using equation 5.
DOCw means the degradable organic carbon value for waste mix type w mentioned in section 5.12 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
DOCF,w means the fraction of degradable organic carbon dissimilated for waste mix type w mentioned in section 5.14A of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
MCF means the methane correction factor for aerobic decomposition mentioned in section 5.14B of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
WLFG,CH4 means the fraction, by volume of methane generated in landfill gas, mentioned in section 5.14C of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
FC→CH4 means 1.336, being the factor to convert a mass of carbon to a mass of methane.
w means a waste mix type present in the eligible waste.
