7 Meaning of operating emissions
(1) The operating emissions for an implementation are the energy emissions and industrial process emissions produced by equipment within the upgraded boundary for the implementation.
Note: If the implementation involves removing equipment within the boundary for the implementation, the energy emissions and industrial process emissions produced by that equipment will be zero for the purposes of determining operating emissions for the implementation.
(2) However, if electricity generated at the site of the implementation is consumed by equipment within the upgraded boundary for the implementation, only one of the following, as chosen by the project proponent, is part of operating emissions for the implementation:
(a) emissions from the electricity generated at the site consumed by the equipment worked out using the relevant electricity emissions factor;
(b) emissions from the fuel used to generate that electricity.
