Section Env-A 4705.05 - Emissions Reductions(a) Emissions reductions shall be determined based on potential fugitive CH4 emissions that would have occurred at the landfill if metered CH4 collected from the landfill for thermal destruction as part of the offset project was not collected and destroyed.(b) CO2e emissions reductions shall be calculated as follows:(1) "V" means the volume of CH4 collected in cubic feet (ft3);(2) "M" means the mass of CH4 per ft3, where the default value is 0.04246 lbs/ft3 at 1 atmosphere and 20 degrees C;(3) "OX" means the oxidation factor, equal to 0.10, which represents the estimated portion of collected CH4 that would have eventually oxidized to CO2 if not collected;(4) "Cef" means the combustion efficiency of methane control technology, equal to 0.98;(5) "GWP" means the CO2e global warming potential of CH4, equal to 25; and(6) Emissions reductions in tons CO2e equals the product of V times M times Cef times GWP times the result of 1 minus OX, all divided by 2000, as shown in the following equation: Emissions Reductions (tons CO2e) = (V x M x (1 - OX) x Cef x GWP)/2000
