11 Scope 1 emission factors
Determining the scope 1 emission factor (1) For the parameter EFij, the scope 1 emission factor for carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide released from the combustion of a fuel in the circumstances specified in an item in column 2 of the table below is determined in accordance with the provision of the NGER Measurement Determination specified in column 3 for that item.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Item | Circumstances | Provision of the NGER Measurement Determination |
| 1 | Combustion of solid fuels. | Part 1 of Schedule 1 |
| 2 | Combustion of gaseous fuels for stationary energy purposes. | Part 2 of Schedule 1 |
| 3 | Combustion of petroleum based oils or petroleum based greases for stationary energy purposes. | Part 3 of Schedule 1 |
| 4 | Combustion of liquid fuels, other than petroleum based oils and petroleum based greases, for stationary energy purposes. | Part 3 of Schedule 1 |
| 5 | Combustion of gaseous or liquid fuels for transport energy purposes. | Division 4.1 of Part 4 of Schedule 1 |
| 6 | Combustion of liquid fuels by vehicles manufactured after 2004. | Division 4.2 of Part 4 of Schedule 1 |
| 7 | Combustion of liquid fuels by trucks that meet the design standards mentioned in column 3 of the table in Division 4.3 of Part 4 of Schedule 1 of the NGER Measurement Determination. | Division 4.3 of Part 4 of Schedule 1 |
Missing scope 1 emission factors (2) Subsection (3) applies if: (a) a calculation in this instrument includes the parameter EFij for a feedstock or fuel type (the relevant feedstock or fuel); and (b) the emission factor for a greenhouse gas type released from the use of the relevant feedstock or fuel cannot be determined in accordance with subsection (1).
Note: Example: The calculation in subsection 16(2) includes the parameter EFij. The fuel type use to produce the batch is acetylene gas, a gaseous fuel used for a stationary energy purpose. When this instrument commenced, the table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination did not contain an emission factor for acetylene gas.
(3) The emission factor for the relevant feedstock or fuel which may be used for the purposes of the parameter EFij in the calculation is the scope 1 emission factor determined in accordance with subsection (1) for a feedstock or fuel type with: (a) the same state of matter as the relevant feedstock or fuel; and (b) if the relevant feedstock or fuel does not have biogenic carbon content—no biogenic carbon content; and (c) the closest comparable carbon content to the relevant feedstock or fuel; and (d) if more than one feedstock or fuel type satisfies paragraphs (a) to (c) for the relevant feedstock or fuel—the closest comparable energy content factor to the relevant feedstock or fuel.
