39 Overview of gases accounted for in abatement calculations

(1) The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and emissions sources that are relevant to working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for an industrial and commercial emissions reduction project.

Greenhouse gases and emissions sources
Item Relevant emissions calculation Emissions source Greenhouse gas
1 Baseline emissions for an implementation Fuel consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
2 Baseline emissions for an implementation Electricity consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
3 Baseline emissions for an implementation Industrial process emissions The greenhouse gases listed in regulation 2.02 of the NGER Regulations
4 Operating emissions for an implementation Fuel consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
5 Operating emissions for an implementation Electricity consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
6 Operating emissions for an implementation Industrial process emissions The greenhouse gases listed in regulation 2.02 of the NGER Regulations
7 Emissions from interactive effects Fuel consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
8 Emissions from interactive effects Electricity consumption emissions Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
9 Emissions from interactive effects Industrial process emissions The greenhouse gases listed in regulation 2.02 of the NGER Regulations

(2) In this section, NGER Regulations means the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008.
