sch.2-sec.9Hydrocarbon gas refining

### sch.2-sec.9 Hydrocarbon gas refining Hydrocarbon gas refining (the relevant activity ) consists of refining natural gas or coal seam methane gas. The relevant activity does not include— collecting gas from sewage treatment works or from decomposition of organic waste in landfills associated with carrying out a relevant waste management activity; or collecting naturally occurring gas from coal seams if the collection is authorised under an environmental authority for a resource activity; or reforming or synthesising gas. In the following table, the aggregate environmental score, if any, for the relevant activity is the score stated opposite the threshold within which the relevant activity is carried out. Threshold Aggregate environmental score 3 refining in a year— less than 200,000,000m 3 of natural gas no score C 200,000,000m 3 or more of natural gas 19 C coal seam gas 64 C In this section— relevant waste management activity means an activity to which section 55 , 60 or 62 applies.
