Qin,m,y is the total amount of product put into the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) for the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Qout,m,y is the total amount of product taken out of the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) for the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Note: Qout,m,y includes any amount of product taken out by the holder of the delivery profile.
y is the financial year immediately prior to the financial year in which the batch period started.
Note: Section 14, which provides for an alternate definition of y where the holder of the delivery profile has an incomplete data set, applies to this subsection.
(4) For paragraph (a) and (c) of the definition of LRm in subsection (1), LRm, is worked out using the following formula:
Start formula LR start subscript m end subscript equals start fraction open bracket Q start subscript in,m,y end subscript plus Q start subscript m,start,y end subscript close bracket minus open bracket Q start subscript out,m,y end subscript plus Q start subscript m,end,y end subscript close bracket over Q start subscript in,m,y end subscript end fraction end formula
where:
Qm,start,y is the total amount of product in the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) at the start of the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Qm,end,y is the total amount of product in the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) at the end of the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Qin,m,y is the total amount of product put into the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) for the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Qout,m,y is the total amount of product taken out of the equipment used to store or transport the product in accordance with the relevant delivery module (m) for the year (y) in kilograms, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
Note: Qout,m,y includes any amount of product taken out by the holder of the delivery profile.
y is the financial year immediately prior to the financial year in which the batch period started.
Note: Section 14, which provides for an alternate definition of y where the holder of the delivery profile has an incomplete data set, applies to this subsection.
(5) In this section:
large hydrogen storage vessel means a vessel for storing hydrogen that has a storage capacity greater than 1,000 kilograms.
39 Direct delivery delivered amount
Where one or more functional units of a batch of hydrogen (the transported quantity) reach a delivery gate without being stored or transported in accordance with a delivery module, the amount of hydrogen that reaches the delivery gate is the same as the amount of hydrogen that reaches the production gate, monitored or measured in accordance with section 9.
