43  Emissions from anaerobic digesters
  The emissions from an anaerobic digester used by a waste treatment facility or unit during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 17):
where:
EAD,f means the emissions from an anaerobic digester used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
γ means the factor, mentioned in subsection 5.4(1) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination, that converts cubic metres of methane to tonnes CO2‑e at standard conditions.
CE means the biogas collection efficiency of an anaerobic digester, being 0.98.
MSent,h means the volume of methane sent to combustion device h during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out in accordance with section 44.
MVent,q means the volume of methane vented due to major venting event q during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 20.
f means a waste treatment facility or unit that is a nominated waste treatment facility or unit for the source separation activity during the reporting period.
h means a combustion device used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period.
q means a major venting event associated with the anaerobic digester.
