24A Methane destroyed in biomethane produced by project biomethane facilities
The volume of methane sent out from project biomethane facility f during the reporting period, BCf (in cubic metres), is worked out using the formula:
| | Equation 6A |
k is a biogas upgrading system that is part of project biomethane facility f.
QBM, k is the total volume of biomethane sent out by biogas upgrading system k during the reporting period, in cubic metres, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
WBM, CH4, k is the proportion of QBM, k that is methane, expressed as a fraction, determined in accordance with the Supplement.
TLBM, f is the transport loss factor for biomethane produced by project biomethane facility f, expressed as a fraction, which is:
(a) if all biomethane produced by project biomethane facility f during the reporting period is consumed at a project treatment facility or project biomethane facility—zero; or
(b) otherwise—0.02.
Note: TLBM accounts for methane that is not combusted due to gas lost in transport of biomethane.
DEBM is the methane destruction efficiency for biomethane produced by biomethane production, expressed as a fraction, which is 0.98.
