12A 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 a wastewater project (CO2-e):
(a) the calculations for a non-biomethane project must include only the conversion abatement attributable to emissions destruction, 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—for each calendar month in the reporting period during which the project proponent has not chosen to exclude conversion abatement attributable to emissions destruction under subsection 11D(4), the conversion abatement attributable to that emissions destruction, worked out using the method set out in Division 2; and
(iii) 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.
