32  Summary

      The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a displacement electricity production project is the abatement achieved from installing and operating electricity production devices (subject to a baseline) less certain parameters associated with electricity production. However, unlike a new electricity production project, an expansion electricity production project or a transitioning electricity production project, the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a displacement electricity production project generally does not take into account abatement from the conversion of the methane component of coal mine waste gas. Only the abatement from displacing electricity is taken into account. The exception to this is abatement from the conversion of methane from a conversion device that uses ventilation air methane as its primary fuel source where no such device was previously installed.
      The abatement achievable from existing electricity production devices (if any) is used to determine a baseline for working out the abatement achieved by the project. Only abatement above this baseline is counted as abatement achieved by the project.
