8F  Requirements for restarting biomethane displacement-only projects

        A restarting biomethane displacement-only project must:
          (a) occur at a biomethane facility that was part of an eligible offsets project (the forerunner project):
 (i) that involved the carrying out of biomethane production; and
 (ii) for which the applicable methodology determination was the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative—Domestic, Commercial and Industrial Wastewater) Methodology Determination 2015 or an earlier version of that determination applicable in accordance with section 125, 126, 127 or 130 of the Act; and
 (iii) the crediting period for which has expired; and
          (b) involve biomethane production; and
          (c) have a crediting period greater than zero under section 11G.

             Note: A restarting biomethane displacement-only project will only earn credits for the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production (see paragraph 12A(e)). Such a project may also involve biogas generation for biomethane, or emissions destruction, but no credits will be issued in relation to those project activities.
8G Changing project type

       A project of a particular type may change to a project of a different type if it satisfies the requirements for that type immediately before the change.

            Note:        See Division 1 of Part 5 for the documentation of the change required in the offsets report for the project.

Division 3—Information required to be included in section 22 and 128 applications
8H Applications about non-biomethane projects

       (1) This section applies to the section 22 application or section 128 application for a non-biomethane project.

       (2) An application to which this section applies must include the following information:
          (a) which project type the project will be;
          (b) which project activities will be carried out as part of the project;
          (c) a description of at least one project treatment facility that will be used in the project, and the following details about each project treatment facility that will be used in the project:
 (i) a brief description of the facility;
 (ii) the location of the facility;
 (iii) the capacity of the facility, in ML or m3 of eligible wastewater treated by the facility per year;
 (iv) the deep open anaerobic lagoons that are to be replaced by anaerobic digesters that are installed as part of the project at the facility;
 (v) evidence of the historical sources of wastewater for the project to be treated at the facility;
 (vi) the basis upon which the facility is expected to comply with the requirements of this Part and section 7;

            Note: Project treatment facilities may also be adopted later, provided that they are documented in accordance with Part 5.
          (d) a description as to how the project can reasonably be expected to result in eligible carbon abatement.
