This disclosure contains methodology documentation for calculating baseline factor resets under the Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCU) Scheme's landfill gas method reforms. The document outlines a technical procedure for determining methane emissions baselines across landfill gas projects by cross-referencing the ERF project register, identifying flaring-only sites, applying Global Warming Potential data for methane, and adjusting for oxidation rates using five-year average methane capture data from the National Inventory Report. The release includes a table listing 24 active landfill gas projects across Australia (including sites at Bowral, Darwin, Hallam, Mugga Lane, Woodlawn, and others) operated by councils, private operators, and energy companies. These projects participate in the Emissions Reduction Fund scheme. The documents indicate the department was developing more conservative baseline estimates to address potential over-crediting in the landfill gas method. No conflict between
