22 Proportion of methane combusted that was not generated from carbon tax waste

(1) The proportion of the methane combusted during the reporting period that was not generated from carbon tax waste, in cubic metres, is worked out using the formula (equation 4): Image unavailable in extracted text where:

WNCT means the proportion of the methane combusted during the reporting period that was not generated from carbon tax waste.

MCom,y means the methane combusted in financial year y, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 5 as if a reporting period were a financial year.

MCom means the methane combusted during the reporting period, in cubic metres, worked out using equation 5.

MCTW,y means the methane generated by the landfill from carbon tax waste in financial year y in tonnes of CO2‑e calculated in accordance with subsection (2).

MGen,y means the methane generated by the landfill in financial year y, in tonnes CO2‑e, calculated in accordance with subsection (3).

y means a financial year covered (either partly or fully) by the reporting period.

Note: The summation of this equation over financial years is to cover circumstances where reporting periods span financial years.

Methane generated from carbon tax waste in financial year y (2) The methane generated by the landfill from carbon tax waste in financial year y, in tonnes of CO2‑e, is equivalent to parameter CH4gen calculated: (a) under Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and (b) in accordance with the following: (i) the year y for working out MCTW,y is a financial year that the reporting period partially or fully covers; (ii) the calculation is based only on carbon tax waste.

Note: See section 6 for the version of NGER (Measurement) Determination that must be used.

Methane generated in year y (3) The methane generated by the landfill in year y, in tonnes CO2‑e, is equivalent to parameter CH4gen calculated: (a) under Part 5.2 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and (b) with methane generation determined for the whole landfill as if it were a single sub‑facility zone; and (c) in accordance with subsection (4), (5), (6) or (7), as required, and subsection (8), as required. (4) For working out MGen,y for equation 4, financial year y is a financial year covered (either partly or fully) by the reporting period. (5) For working out MGen,y for equation 18, year y is the 12 month period immediately after the upgrade undertaken in the project is completed. (6) For working out MGen,y for equation 20 and clause 5 of Schedule 1, year y is the 12 month period immediately before the project begins. (7) For working out MGen,y for clause 2 of Schedule 1 (for the purposes of items 1 and 2 of the table in subclause 6(2) of Schedule 1) and items 5 and 6 of the table in subclause 6(2) of Schedule 1, year y is the 12 month period immediately before the advice is given by the environmental regulator. (8) For subsections (5), (6) and (7), if the 12 month period covers 2 financial years, CH4gen is calculated by: (i) calculating CH4gen for each financial year covered by the 12 month period; and (ii) multiplying the amount of CH4gen for each financial year by the proportion of days in the financial year covered by the 12 month period; and (iii) summing the results.
