30 Emissions from fuel use: conversion abatement

(1) The emissions from fuel used that is specifically attributable to the operation of project treatment facility h during a reporting period (including transport), EF, conversion, (in tonnes CO2‑e.) is worked out using the formula:

| | Equation 10 |

i is a fuel type.

j is a greenhouse gas type.

QF conversion, i is the amount of fuel type i that is specifically attributable to the operation of the project treatment facility for the treatment of organic effluent by emissions destruction, emissions avoidance, or biogas generation for biomethane, during the reporting period, in tonnes, kilolitres, cubic metres, or gigajoules, determined in accordance with the Supplement.

ECi is the energy content factor for fuel type i, in gigajoules per tonne, gigajoules per kilolitre or gigajoules per cubic metre, set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

Note: If QF conversion, i is measured in gigajoules, then ECi is not required (ECi=1).

EFij is the emission factor for greenhouse gas type j and fuel type i, in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule, set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination.

(2) In determining QF conversion, i, if fuel is used by the project treatment facility in performing a function that was also performed before the implementation of the project, it is attributable to the operation of the project treatment facility only to the extent that the project has caused an increase in fuel use.
