18A What can be included in calculating net abatement

For the purposes of working out the total carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a reporting period for an animal effluent management project Atot (in tonnes CO2 e):

(a) the calculations for a non-biomethane project must include only the conversion abatement attributable to emissions avoidance, emissions destruction, or both, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and

(b) the calculations for a biomethane conversion and displacement project must include only:

(i) the conversion abatement attributable to biogas generation for biomethane, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and

(ii) if the project also involves emissions destruction, the conversion abatement attributable to that emissions destruction, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and

(iii) if the project also involves emissions avoidance, the conversion abatement attributable to that emissions avoidance, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and

(iv) the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production, worked out using the method set out in Division 3; and

(c) the calculations for a biomethane displacement-only project must include only the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production, worked out using the method set out in Division 3; and

(d) the calculations for a restarting biomethane conversion and displacement project must include only:

(i) the conversion abatement attributable to biogas generation for biomethane, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and

(ii) the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production, worked out using the method set out in Division 3; and

(e) the calculations for a restarting biomethane displacement-only project must include only the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production, worked out using the method set out in Division 3.
