26 Proportion of methane that is generated by eligible wastewater
(1) The proportion of methane generated at project treatment facility t that is generated by eligible wastewater for the project during a reporting period (WEW,t) is:
(a) if both of the conditions in subsection (2) are satisfied for the reporting period—1;
(b) if one or both of the conditions in subsection (2) are not satisfied for the reporting period—worked out using equation 6.
(2) The conditions are as follows:
(a) the volume of an individual type of ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,w,t) does not exceed 0.5% of the total volume of material treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,t);
(b) the volume of all ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (ƩwQMat,w,t) is less than 2% of the total volume of material treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period (QMat,t);
where QMat,w,t and QMat,t are worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements and w is a type of ineligible material for the project treated in anaerobic digesters at project treatment facility t during the reporting period.
(3) The following formula is equation 6:

WEW,t means the proportion of methane generated at project treatment facility t that is generated by eligible wastewater for the project during the reporting period.
MEW,t means methane generated by eligible wastewater at project treatment facility t for the project during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 7 (section 27).
MIM,t means methane generated by ineligible material at project treatment facility t for the project during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 8 (section 28).
