53  Project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane—conversion and displacement abatement

1.       The project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane activities relating to the project for a reporting period (PELFG-BM), in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the following formula:

 

| start formula PE subscript LFG dash BM equals E subscript F comma LFG dash BM plus E subscript PE comma LFG dash BM end formula. | Equation 21 |

 

 

| PE subscript LFG dash BM | means the project emissions from landfill gas capture for biomethane activities during the reporting period. | | E subscript F comma LFG dash BM | means the emissions from fuel use that are specifically attributable to the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period (including transport), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 22. | | E subscript PE comma LFG dash BM | means the emissions from purchased electricity that are specifically attributable to the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 23. |

 (2) In working out EF, LFG-BM and EPE, LFG-BM, emissions associated with biomethane production should be disregarded, including emissions from the operation of project biomethane facilities and any downstream transport emissions, during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 29.

Note: This ensures that double counting of project emissions does not occur. Project emissions from fuel and electricity used in biogas upgrading systems are accounted for when working out net displacement abatement in Division 5 of Part 5.
