The term collected for combustion in the NGER (Measurement) Determination is intended to mean landfill methane collected for combustion for electricity generation.
Qflared,y means the quantity of methane in landfill gas from the landfill that is flared or otherwise combusted for purposes other than electricity generation during year y, in cubic metres, measured as prescribed in Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
Qtr,y means the quantity of methane in landfill gas transferred out of the landfill during year y, in cubic metres, measured as prescribed in Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
CH4*+,y means the estimated quantity of methane in landfill gas generated by the landfill during year y, in tonnes CO2‑e, measured and determined in accordance with subsection (4A).
y means a year in the 4 years:
 (a) immediately before the upgrade is started; or
 (b) if elected by the project proponent—immediately before the application for declaration of the upgrade project as an eligible offsets project.
x means:
 (a) if pursuant to subsection (7) WCom,Bef is calculated for the purposes of this subsection based on data for a 4 year period—4;
 (b) if pursuant to subsection (7) WCom,Bef is calculated for the purposes of this subsection based on data for a 3 year period—3;
 (c) if pursuant to subsection (7) WCom,Bef is calculated for the purposes of this subsection based on data for a 2 year period—2.
 (4) CH4*,y is equivalent to CH4* calculated:
 (a) under Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (b) in accordance with the following:
 (i) the reporting year is year y, where y means a year in the 2 years immediately before the upgrade;
 (ii) methane generation must be determined for the whole landfill as if it were a single sub‑facility zone.
 (4A) CH4*+,y is equivalent to CH4* calculated:
 (a) under Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (b) in accordance with the following:
 (i) the reporting year is year y, where y means a year in the 4 years immediately before the upgrade;
 (ii) methane generation must be determined for the whole landfill as if it were a single sub‑facility zone.
 (5) For subsections (4) and (4A), if year y covers 2 financial years, use the method set out in subsection 22(8) (as if CH4gen were CH4*).
 (6) To avoid doubt, the time periods in this section relating to a restarting flaring project which was previously an upgrade project relate to the previous upgrade project and are not reset by the declaration of the project as a restarting flaring project.
 (7) In subsections (1), (3A) and (4A), references to "4 years" are taken to mean "2 years or, if data is available to the project proponent for that period,
