63 Simplified outline of this Division
The eligible abatement fraction for a project for a reporting period is the proportion of gross abatement for the project that is associated with biomethane produced from eligible biogas during the reporting period. This excludes abatement created from biogas upgrading of ineligible biogas. Only the eligible abatement fraction of gross abatement is counted towards the net abatement to ensure that biomethane produced from ineligible sources is not credited.
The eligible abatement is expressed as a fraction, representing the proportion of biogas sent to a biogas upgrading system for the project that is eligible biogas. If 100% of biogas that undergoes biogas upgrading is eligible biogas, there is no deduction for ineligible abatement.
The eligible abatement fraction is worked out as the proportion of the quantity of eligible biogas supplied by all biogas source facilities during a reporting period to the total quantity of biogas treated during a reporting period. The quantity of eligible biogas sent from each biogas source facility is worked out by:
(a) direct measurement of the quantity of eligible biogas sent for biogas upgrading; or
(b) estimation of the proportion of biogas sent for biogas upgrading that is eligible biogas.
