(j), being methane and nitrous oxide, released from the landfill from flaring of the methane in landfill gas during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qflared is the quantity of methane in landfill gas flared during the year measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 2.3.6.
ECi is the energy content factor of methane in landfill gas in gigajoules per cubic metre (see Schedule 1).
EFij is the relevant emission factor for gas type (j), being methane and nitrous oxide, from the combustion of landfill gas in kilograms of CO2‑e per gigajoule (see Schedule 1).
 (2) For Qflared in subsection (1), the methane in landfill gas is taken to constitute 50% of the landfill gas.

5.20  Method 2—landfill gas flared
 (1) For subparagraph 5.3(1)(b)(ii) and subject to this section, method 2 is the same as method 1 under section 5.19.
 (2) In applying method 1 under section 5.19, Qflared must be determined in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements in Subdivision 2.3.3.2 and the measurement requirements in Division 2.3.6.

5.21  Method 3—landfill gas flared
 (1) For subparagraph 5.3(1)(b)(iii) and subject to this section, method 3 is the same as method 1 under section 5.19.
 (2) In applying method 1 under section 5.19, Qflared must be determined in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements in Division 2.3.4 and the measurement requirements in Division 2.3.6.

Division 5.2.6—Biological treatment of solid waste

5.22  Method 1—emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from biological treatment of solid waste
 (1) For subparagraph 5.3(1)(c)(i) and paragraph 5.3(1)(d), method 1 is:
where:
EFi is the emission factor for each gas type (j), being methane or nitrous oxide, released from the biological treatment type (i) measured in tonnes of CO2‑e per tonne of waste processed.
Eij is the emissions of the gas type (j), being methane or nitrous oxide, released from the facility during the year from the biological treatment type (i) measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Mi is the mass of waste treated by biological treatment type (i) during the year measured in tonnes of waste.
R is:
 (a) for the gas type methane—the total amount of methane recovered during the year at the facility from the biological treatment of solid waste measured in tonnes of CO2‑e; or
 (b) for the gas type nitrous oxide—zero.
 (2) For EFi in subsection (1), the emission factor for each gas type released from the biological treatment type is set out in the following table:

Emission factor for type of gas and biological treatment
Item                                                      Biological treatment                 Emission factor
                                                                                               tonnes CO2‑e/tonne of waste treated
                                                                                               Methane                              Nitrous Oxide
