87A Exported steam related to the ethene production activity
(1) Gigajoules of steam that: (a) are generated at the facility by heating water; and (b) are transferred or exported to another facility: (i) as part of a commercial arrangement requiring the transfer of steam to the other facility; and (ii) for use at the other facility. (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that conducts the ethene production activity. (3) The gigajoules of steam in subsection (1) must be: (a) measured consistently with the NGER (Measurement) Determination, including the principles in section 1.13 and reporting requirements under the NGER Regulations; and (b) calculated as total steam exported for a reporting period; and (c) measured at the point of transfer out of the facility.
Note: The amount of gigajoules of a mass of steam at a particular temperature and pressure can be calculated by multiplying the specific steam enthalpy corresponding to that temperature and pressure by the mass of that steam.
(4) The default emissions intensity is 0.0879 t CO2‑e per gigajoule of steam. (5) In this section: ethene production activity has the same meaning as in subsection 86(2).
