25  Calculating amount of captured greenhouse gases transferred to an off-taker
 (1) The amount of captured carbon dioxide transferred to an off-taker during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, is worked out using the formula (equation 16):
  QOT  =  ∑n (VolOT,n  ×  γj)
  where:
       QOT means the amount of greenhouse gases captured for permanent storage by the project and transferred to the off-taker during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.
       VolOT,n means the quantity of greenhouse gases captured for permanent storage by the project at a capture point n and transferred to an off-taker during the reporting period, measured in cubic metres:
 (a) in a manner that:
               (i) is consistent with the requirements in subsections 1.19E(3), (4), (5) and (6) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
               (ii) is consistent with criterion AAA set out for the measurement of captured greenhouse gas stream in section 1.19G of that determination, converted at standard conditions of pressure and temperature; and
               (iii) assumes references to the greenhouse gas stream in those provisions to be references to greenhouse gases captured by the project at the capture point and transferred to the off-taker; or
 (b) at the project proponent's election—in a manner that:
               (i) is consistent with the requirements in subsections 1.19E(3), (4), (5) and (6) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
               (ii) is consistent with criterion BBB set out for the measurement of captured greenhouse gas stream in section 1.19GA of that determination, converted at standard conditions of pressure and temperature; and
               (iii) assumes references to the greenhouse gas stream in those provisions to be references to greenhouse gases captured by the project at the capture point and transferred to the off-taker.
       n means a capture point used by the project.
  γj means the factor for converting a quantity of greenhouse gas type j from cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature to tonnes CO2-e, being:
 (a) for methane—6.784 × 10-4 × GWPCH4; and
 (b) for carbon dioxide—1.861 × 10-3; and
 (c)  for nitrous oxide—1.861 × 10-3 × GWPN2O

 (2) Conversion of a quantity of greenhouse gases to a quantity under standard conditions of pressure and temperature must be made in a manner that is consistent with the requirements in subsection 2.32(7) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
