53  Measured emissions

 (1) This section sets out how to work out the total measured emissions for the purposes of:

 (a) if this section is used to develop the baseline emissions model for implementation h—calculating total measured baseline emissions for implementation h for measurement time interval m in the baseline measurement period; or

 (c) if this section is used otherwise—calculating total measured operating emissions for implementation h for eligible measurement time interval m in a reporting period.

 (2) The total measured emissions for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 23):

EMeas,h,m means the total measured emissions for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e.

EFuel,h,m means the total emissions from the combustion of fuel for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 24.

EElec,h,m means the total emissions from the consumption of electricity for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 26.

EProc,h,m means:

 (a) if there are relevant industrial process emissions for implementation h, the total relevant industrial process emissions for implementation h for measurement time interval m, not accounted for through combustion of fuel or consumption of electricity, as worked out using a method consistent with Chapter 4 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination, in tonnes CO2‑e; or

 (b) otherwise—zero.

 (3) The total emissions from the combustion of fuel for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 24):

EFuel,h,m means the total emissions from the combustion of fuel for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e.

Eh,m,i,j means the total emissions from the combustion of fuel type i of greenhouse gas j for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 25.

 (4) The total emissions from the combustion of fuel type i of greenhouse gas j for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 25):

Eh,m,i,j means the total emissions from the combustion of fuel type i of greenhouse gas j for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e.

Qh,m,i means the total quantity of fuel type i combusted by equipment within the boundary for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in appropriate units, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

ECi means the energy content factor of fuel type i, in appropriate units, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

EFi,j means the emissions factor for each greenhouse gas type j released due to the combustion of fuel type i by equipment within the boundary for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in kilograms of CO2‑e per gigajoule or other appropriate unit, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

 (5) However, if Qh,m,i is measured in gigajoules, then the value of ECi is taken to be 1.

 (6) The total emissions from the consumption of electricity for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 26):

EElec,h,m means the total emissions from the consumption of electricity for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in tonnes CO2‑e.

QElec,h,m means the quantity of electricity that is consumed by equipment within the boundary for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in kilowatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

QRen,h,m means the quantity of eligible renewable electricity that is consumed by equipment within the boundary for implementation h for measurement time interval m, in kilowatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

EFElec means:

 (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 obtained 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 (worked out in accordance with subsection (7)) applicable on the day the project is declared to be an eligible offsets project and that is updated for any major changes in electricity supply—that updated factor; or

 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours), for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document.

 (7) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFElec in subsection (6), 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.
