13 Energy content factor
(1) For the parameter ECi, the energy content factor for a fuel type (i) measured in the manner specified in the description in an item in column 2 of the following table is determined in accordance with column 3 for that item.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Item | Fuel type and unit of measurement | Energy content factor |
| 1 | Solid fuels measured in tonnes. | The energy content factor, in gigajoules per tonne, is either:(a) as mentioned in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination; or(b) estimated by analysis in accordance with the standard indicated for that energy content factor in Schedule 2 to the NGER Measurement Determination or an equivalent standard. |
| 2 | Gaseous fuels measured in cubic metres. | The energy content factor, in gigajoules per cubic metre, is either:(a) as mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination; or(b) subject to subsection 13(2), estimated by analysis under Subdivision 2.3.3.2 of the NGER Measurement Determination. |
| 3 | Gaseous fuels measured in gigajoules. | The energy content factor is 1. |
| 4 | Liquid fuels measured in kilolitres. | The energy content factor, in gigajoules per kilolitre, is:(a) for stationary energy purposes—as mentioned in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination; or(b) for transport energy purposes—as mentioned in Division 4.1 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination; or(c) estimated by analysis under Subdivision 2.4.3.2 of the NGER Measurement Determination. |
| 5 | Sulphur measured in tonnes. | The energy content factor for sulphur mentioned in Part 7 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination, in gigajoules per tonne. |
Application of Subdivision 2.3.3.2 of the NGER Measurement Determination (2) When estimating the energy content by analysis under Subdivision 2.3.3.2 of the NGER Measurement Determination for the purposes of paragraph (b) of column 3 of item 2 of the table above: (a) item 2 of the table in section 2.25 of the NGER Measurement Determination does not apply; and (b) all gaseous fuels (including fugitive emissions) other than pipeline quality gases must be analysed at least monthly.
