41N Emissions from purchased electricity use: displacement abatement

(1) The emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility m during a reporting period, EPE, displacement, m (in tonnes CO2-e) is worked out using the formula (equation 28):

QPE, displacement, m is the amount of purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility m during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

EFPE, displacement 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, displacement 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.
