The average proportion of the methane from the project landfill that is collected and destroyed during the 2 years before the upgrade is started is worked out using the formula (equation 22):

       where:

       WCom, Bef means the average proportion of the methane from the project landfill that is collected and destroyed during the 2 years:
           (a) immediately before the upgrade is started; or
           (b) if elected by the project proponent—immediately before the application for declaration of the upgrade project as an eligible offsets project.

         means the factor to convert cubic metres of methane at standard conditions to tonnes of CO2‑e set out in subsection 5.4(1) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

            Note: In 2021, γ was 6.784 x 10-4 x 28.

       Qcap, y means the quantity of methane in landfill gas collected for combustion from the project landfill during year y, in cubic metres, measured as prescribed in Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

            Note: The term collected for combustion in the NGER (Measurement) Determination is intended to mean landfill methane collected for combustion for electricity generation.

       Qflared, y means the quantity of methane in landfill gas from the project landfill that is flared or otherwise combusted for purposes other than electricity generation during year y, in cubic metres, measured as prescribed in Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

       Qtr, y means the quantity of methane in landfill gas transferred out of the project landfill during year y, in cubic metres, measured as prescribed in Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

       CH4*, y means the estimated quantity of methane in landfill gas generated by the project landfill during year y, in tonnes CO2‑e, measured and determined in accordance with subsection (5).

       y means a year in the 2 years:
           (a) immediately before the upgrade is started; or
           (b) if elected by the project proponent—immediately before the application for declaration of the upgrade project or the transitioning (upgrade) project as an eligible offsets project.

       Methane collected and destroyed during 4 years before upgrade

        (4) The average proportion of the methane from the project landfill that is collected and destroyed during the 4 years before the upgrade is started is worked out using the formula (equation 23):

       where:

       WCom, Bef means the average proportion of the methane from the project landfill that is collected and destroyed during the 4 years:
           (a) immediately before the upgrade is started; or
           (b) if elected by the project proponent—immediately before the application for declaration of the upgrade project or the transitioning (upgrade) project as an eligible offsets project.

         means the factor to convert cubic metres of methane at standard conditions to tonnes of CO2‑e set out in subsection 5.4(1) of the NGER
