72 Required information for offsets reports—net abatement calculations
An offsets report about a project for a reporting period must include details of the net abatement calculations for the reporting period, including the following:
(a) the output of each equation in this instrument used to calculate the net abatement amount for the reporting period;
(b) if landfill gas capture for biomethane is carried out as part of the project—details about the biomethane production loss factor used to calculate net abatement;
(c) if biomethane production is carried out as part of the project—details of the displacement abatement calculations (that is, calculations made under Division 2 of Part 5), including the following:
(i) information on volumes and methane concentrations of biomethane produced during the reporting period;
(ii) volumes and eligible abatement fractions of biogas treated by each project biomethane facility during the reporting period;
(iii) information on the sources and volumes of project emissions from treatment of biogas by biogas upgrading;
(iv) if QBG, EI, g is determined in accordance with equation 28 for a reporting period:
- an explanation of how the proportion of biogas that is eligible biogas (EBg) was determined; and
- evidence or data supporting how EBg was calculated; and
- a signed declaration from the person who estimated EBg that the value for that factor is accurate and conservative.
