32A  Summary

      The project emissions for a reporting period are the emissions that must be subtracted from the gross project conversion abatement during the reporting period. They are the emissions that are attributable to the use of equipment for landfill gas capture for biomethane activities. They include emissions from fuel (including transport) and purchased electricity.

32B Project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane

       (1)The project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane activities for the project landfill for a reporting period, PELFG-BM, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 23A):

       where:

       PELFG-BM means the project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane activities for the project landfill for the reporting period.

       EF, LFG-BM means the emissions from fuel that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project landfill for the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane, during the reporting period (including transport), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 23B (section 32C).

       EPE, LFG-BM means the emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project landfill for the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane, the during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 23C (section 32D).

        (2) In determining EF, LFG-BM and EPE, LFG-BM, emissions associated with biomethane production should be disregarded, including emissions from the operation of project biomethane facilities and any downstream transport emissions, during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 29 (section 32P).

            Note: This ensures that double counting of project emissions does not occur. Project emissions from fuel and electricity used in biogas upgrading systems is accounted for when working out net displacement abatement in Division 3 of this Part.

32C Emissions from fuel use for landfill gas capture for biomethane

        (1) The emissions from fuel used that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project landfill for the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during a reporting period (including transport), EF, LFG-BM, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 23B):

       where:

       EF, LFG-BM means the emissions from fuel used that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project landfill for the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period.

       i is a fuel type.

       j is a greenhouse gas type.

       QF, LFG-BM, i means the amount of fuel type i used that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project landfill for the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period, in tonnes, kilolitres, cubic metres, or gigajoules, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

       ECi means the
