26 The net abatement amount for a project area, Apa
(1) For equation 1, APA is worked out using the following equation:
| View image in the official source | equation 2 |
View image in the official source is the creditable change in soil organic carbon associated with a 60% probability of exceedance for a reporting period RP, in tonnes of CO2-e, given by Division 4 of Schedule 1.
View image in the official source is the emissions adjustment for the project area and reporting period that is:
(a) if View image in the official sourcegiven by equation 77 in Schedule 2 is less than or equal to 0—0;
(b) if View image in the official sourcegiven by equation 77 in Schedule 2 is less than or equal to any value for PEBPA,RP-1 given by section 27 for the previous reporting period RP-1—0;
(c) otherwise—given by equation 3.
Note: See also section 39 which may adjust the value of APA to 0 if parameters are not monitored.
(2) For paragraph (c) of the definition of EAPA in equation 2, EAPA is worked out using the following equation:
| View image in the official source | equation 3 |
View image in the official sourceis the difference between the emissions in the current reporting period RP and the baseline period, in tonnes of CO2-e, given by equation 77 in Schedule 2.
View image in the official source is project emissions buffer (if any) for the project area and previous reporting period RP-1, in tonnes of CO2-e, given by section 27 for the previous reporting period.
