33. In the case of a project to reclaim methane, the quantity of methane emitted into the atmosphere between the measurement of the landfill gas by the promoter at the landfill site and the reclamation device, in particular because of an emergency shutdown, must be measured, and this quantity of methane must be excluded from the quantification of GHG emission reductions attributable to the project.
If gas from other sources is mixed with the landfill gas between the measurement of the landfill gas by the promoter at the landfill site and the reclamation device, the quantity of methane emitted into the atmosphere, in particular because of an emergency shutdown, must be measured, and this quantity must be excluded from the quantification of GHG emission reductions attributable to the project in proportion to the quantity of gas from each gas source. If the quantity of gas emitted into the atmosphere cannot be attributed in proportion with the various sources of reclaimed gas, the total quantity of landfill gas emitted into the atmosphere must be excluded.
