31 Emissions from purchased electricity use: conversion abatement

(1) The emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project treatment facility h during a reporting period, EPE, conversion, (in tonnes CO2‑e) is worked out using the formula:

| | Equation 11 |

QPE conversion is the amount of purchased electricity that is 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 kilowatt hours, determined in accordance with the Supplement.

EFPE, conversion is:

(a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or

(b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:

(i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or

(ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document.

(2) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFPE, conversion in subsection (1), the emissions factor must be worked out:

(a) on a sent‑out basis; and

(b) using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
