32 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 landfill gas capture and destruction project (Atot), in tonnes CO2-e:
-
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 of this Part; and
-
the calculations for a biomethane conversion and displacement project must include only:
-
the conversion abatement attributable to landfill gas capture for biomethane, worked out using the method set out in Division 2 of this Part; and
-
if the project also involves emissions destruction—the conversion abatement attributable to that emissions destruction, worked out using the method set out in Division 2 of this Part; and
-
the displacement abatement attributable to biomethane production, worked out using the method set out in Part 5; and
-
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 Part 5; and
-
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 Part 5.
