55  Emissions from purchased electricity use—conversion abatement

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

 

| start formula E subscript PE comma LFG dash BM equals Q subscript PE comma LFG dash BM times start fraction EF subscript PE comma LFG dash DM over 1000 end fraction end formula | Equation 23 |

 

 

| 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. | | Q subscript PE comma LFG dash BM | means the amount of purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the treatment of landfill gas by landfill gas capture for biomethane during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements. | | EF subscript PE comma LFG dash DM | means:<br>     for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or     for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:<br>       if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or     otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document. |

 (2) For the purposes of subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFPE, LFG-BM in subsection (1), the emissions factor must be worked out:

 (a) on a sent out‑ basis; and

 (b) using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
