22 Application requirements for upgrade projects and existing upgrade projects
-
The section 22 or section 128 application in relation to an upgrade project must include a CEO statement certifying the following:
-
that the proponent intends to invest in infrastructure for the landfill gas collection system or biogas upgrading system for the project, as the case requires;
-
that such investment will contribute to the project’s eligible abatement;
-
that consultation undertaken by the project proponent with the owner and operator of the project landfill or project biomethane facility (as the case requires) endorses the statements in paragraphs (a) and (b).
-
If the project landfill for an existing upgrade project is, or is reasonably likely to become during the crediting period for the project, a designated large facility, the section 128 application in relation to the project must include a CEO statement certifying that the operator of the landfill is aware of the effect of the safeguard provisions of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 in relation to carbon abatement of any covered emissions from the project landfill, and consents to the project on that basis.
