21 Overview of gases accounted for in abatement calculations
The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and emissions sources that are relevant to working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for an SSOW project.
- Greenhouse gases and emissions sources
- Item Relevant calculation Emissions source Greenhouse gas
- 1 Baseline emissions The decomposition of eligible organic material at landfill Methane (CH4)
- 2 Project emissions Fuel consumption Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- 3 Project emissions Electricity consumption Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- 4 Project emissions Emissions from composting processes Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- 5 Project emissions Emissions from anaerobic digester leakage or venting events Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- 6 Project emissions Emissions from the combustion of biogas Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
