mine means an underground coal mine where the following activities have not occurred for at least 12 months and are not expected to occur in the future:
 (a) coal production;
 (b) drainage of methane from the mine (including pre‑draining activities);
 (c) active mine ventilation, including the operation of ventilation fans at the mine.
Note: If one or more of these activities were conducted in the last 12 months, or are expected to occur in the future, the coal mine would not be a decommissioned underground coal mine.
displacement electricity production project means a project that meets the requirements of section 16.
electricity production device means a device that produces electricity from combustion or flameless oxidation of methane.
eligible renewable energy source has the meaning given by the RE(E) Act.
existing electricity production device for a coal mine waste gas project means an electricity production device that existed, during all or part of the period between 24 April 2014 and the application time, at a location where some of the methane component of coal mine waste gas from the mine has been converted.
existing flaring or flameless oxidation device, for a coal mine waste gas project, means a flaring or flameless oxidation device that existed, during all or part of the period between 24 April 2014 and the application time, at a location where some of the methane component of coal mine waste gas from the mine has been converted.
existing regulatory obligation has the meaning given by section 6.
expansion electricity production project means a project that meets the requirements of section 15.
expansion flaring or flameless oxidation project means a project that meets the requirements of section 13.
flameless oxidation, of methane, means conversion of the methane using flameless chemical oxidation.
Note: Flameless oxidation may occur with or without utilization of thermal energy and with or without a catalyst.
flameless oxidation device means a device for the flameless oxidation of methane other than a device that is directly associated with the operation of an electricity production device.
Note: A system of plant and equipment that oxidises ventilation air methane is an example of a flameless oxidation device.
flaring means the combustion of methane for a purpose other than producing energy.
flaring device means a device that combusts methane, other than a device that is directly associated with the operation of an electricity production device.
former RET electricity production device for a coal mine waste gas project means an electricity production device that:
 (a) existed, during all or part of the period between 24 April 2014 and the application time for the project, at a location where some of the methane component of coal mine waste gas from the mine
