a reporting period, QBG, El, g (in cubic metres), in accordance with subsection (1), QBG, El, g is taken to be zero for the reporting period.
Subdivision 5—Displacement abatement project emissions
32K Summary

      The displacement abatement project emissions for a reporting period are the emissions that result from a project biomethane facility undertaking biomethane production during the reporting period.
32L Project emissions: displacement abatement

       (1) The project emissions for project biomethane facility h for a reporting period, PEdisplacement, h (in tonnes CO2-e), is worked out using the formula:

  Equation 19

        where:

        EF, displacement, h is the emissions from fuel that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility h during the reporting period (including transport), in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 20 (section 32M).

       EPE, displacement, h is the emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility h during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 21 (section 32N).

       (2) In determining EF, displacement, h and EPE, displacement, h, fuel and purchased electricity used for biogas generation for biomethane, emissions avoidance and emissions destruction project activities are to be disregarded.
32M Emissions from fuel use: displacement abatement

       (1) The emissions from fuel use that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility h, or transport of biomethane produced at project biomethane facility h to an end use where it can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute, during a reporting period, EF, displacement, h (in tonnes CO2-e) is worked out using the formula:

  Equation 20

        where:

        i is a fuel type.

       j is a greenhouse gas type.

       QF, displacement, h, i is the amount of fuel type i that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility h, or transport of biomethane produced at project biomethane facility h to an end use where it can reasonably be expected to be combusted within Australia as a natural gas substitute, during the reporting period, in tonnes, kilolitres, cubic metres, or gigajoules, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

       ECi is the energy content factor for fuel type i, in gigajoules per tonne, gigajoules per kilolitre or gigajoules per cubic metre, set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

           Note: If  QF, displacement, h, i is measured in gigajoules, then ECj is not required (ECj=1).

       EFij is the emission factor for greenhouse gas type j and fuel type i, in kilograms CO2-e per gigajoule, set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

       (2) In determining QF, displacement, h, i, if fuel is used by the project biomethane facility or equipment used to transport biomethane in performing a function that was also performed
