37  Project emissions

 (1) The project emissions for a source separation activity during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using:

 (a) for a charity diversion activity—sub‑method 1 in subsection (3); or

 (b) for a new waste diversion activity, an expansion waste diversion activity or an aggregated waste diversion activity—subject to subsection (2), either:

 (i) sub‑method 1 in subsection (3); or

 (ii) sub‑method 2 in subsection (4).

 (2) If sub‑method 2 is used to work out the project emissions for a new waste diversion activity, an expansion waste diversion activity or an aggregated waste diversion activity for a reporting period, that sub‑method must be used to work out the project emissions for the activity for all subsequent reporting periods.

 (3) The project emissions for a source separation activity during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 9):

EP,a means the project emissions, in tonnes CO2‑e.

EB,a means the baseline emissions for the source separation activity during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 3.

WPE means the default proportion of project emissions produced by processing eligible organic material diverted from landfill by the source separation activity, being:

 (a) if the source separation activity is a charity diversion activity—0.10; or

 (b) if the source separation activity is a new waste diversion activity, an expansion waste diversion activity or an aggregated waste diversion activity—0.15.

 (4) The project emissions for a source separation activity during a reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out using the formula (equation 10):

EP,a means the project emissions, in tonnes CO2‑e.

EOw,f means the quantity of waste mix type w present in the eligible organic material diverted from landfill by the source separation activity to waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes, worked out in accordance with:

 (a) if the source separation activity is a new waste diversion activity or an expansion waste diversion activity—subsection 31(2); or

 (b) if the source separation activity is an aggregated waste diversion activity—subsection 32(2).

TWf means the total quantity of waste processed at waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes, worked out using equation 11.

EF,f means the emissions from fuel used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 12.

EEP,f means the emissions from purchased electricity used by waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 13.

EEO,f means the emissions from the processing of eligible organic material at waste treatment facility or unit f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 14.

f means a waste treatment facility or unit that is a nominated waste treatment facility or unit for the source separation activity during the reporting period.
