18B Working out net abatement

Subject to section 18A, the total carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a reporting period for an animal effluent management project Atot (in tonnes CO2‑e), is worked out using the formula:

| | Equation 1A |

where

Aconversion, is the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount attributable to the treatment of organic effluent by emissions avoidance, emissions destruction or biogas generation for biomethane, at a project treatment facility for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 1 or equation 1B (section 21).

Adisplacement is the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount attributable to biogas upgrading at project biomethane facilities for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 14 (section 32C).

Subdivision 1—Overview

19 Overview of gases accounted for in conversion abatement calculations

The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gas abatement and emissions that are relevant to working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for an animal effluent management project that involves biogas generation for biomethane, emissions destruction, or emissions avoidance.
