29  Project emissions: conversion abatement

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

  Equation 9

       where:

       EF, conversion is the emissions from fuel that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project treatment facility for the treatment of organic effluent by emissions destruction, emissions avoidance, or biogas generation for biomethane, during the reporting period (including transport), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 10 (section 30).

       EPE, conversion is the emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project treatment facility for the treatment of organic effluent by emissions destruction, emissions avoidance or biogas generation for biomethane, during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 11 (section 31).

       EPost, Methane is the emissions due to methane arising from the post-diversion treatment of material diverted in the project treatment facility for the treatment of organic effluent by emissions avoidance under a treatment method during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 12 (section 32).

       EPost, Nitrogen is the emissions due to nitrogen arising from the post-diversion treatment of material diverted in the project treatment facility for the treatment of organic effluent by emissions avoidance under a treatment method during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 13 (section 32).

       (2) In determining EF, conversion and EPE, conversion, emissions associated with biomethane production should be disregarded, including emissions from the operation of biogas upgrading systems and any downstream transport emissions, during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 19 (section 32L).

            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.
