54  Emissions from fuel use for landfill gas capture for biomethane

 (1) The emissions from fuel used that are specifically attributable to the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane for a reporting period (including transport) (EF, LFG-BM), in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the following formula:

 

| A formula to calculate the emissions from fuel use for landfill gas capture for biomethane | Equation 22 |

 

 

| 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. | | i | means a fuel type. | | j | means a greenhouse gas type. | | Q subscript F comma LFG dash BM comma i | means the amount of fuel type i used that is specifically attributable to the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period, in tonnes, kilolitres, cubic metres or gigajoules (as the case requires), determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements. | | EC subscript i | means the energy content factor for fuel type i, in gigajoules per tonne, gigajoules per kilolitre or gigajoules per cubic metre, as required by section 6.5 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.<br>Note: If QF, LFG-BM, i is measured in gigajoules, then ECi is not required (ECi=1). | | EF subscript ij | means the emission factor for greenhouse gas type j and fuel type i, in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule, as required by the NGER (Measurement) Determination. |

(2) In determining QF, LFG-BM, i, if fuel is used for a project activity in order to perform a function that was also performed before the implementation of the project, that use is attributable to the project only to the extent that the operation of the project has caused an increase in fuel use.
