ended to be used for an industrial purpose. ( énergie thermique ) thermal energy to electricity ratio means, in respect of a unit or equipment that generates electricity, the ratio of the total quantity of thermal energy produced to the total quantity of gross electricity generated by the unit or equipment, not including the quantities from the use of duct burners, in a calendar year and expressed in the same units of measurement. ( rapport énergie thermique-électricité ) total capacity means, in respect of a unit or equipment that generates electricity, either (a) the maximum continuous rating (the maximum net power that can be continuously sustained by a unit or equipment that generates electricity without the use of duct burners, at a temperature of 15˚C and a pressure of 101.325 kPa), expressed in MW of electricity, as most recently reported to a provincial authority of competent jurisdiction or to the electric system operator in the province where the unit or equipment is located, or (b) if no report has been made, the most electricity that was generated by the unit or equipment during two continuous hours in a calendar year, expressed in MW of electricity. ( capacité totale ) 2020 GHGRP [Repealed, SOR/2023-240, s. 2] unit means an assembly comprised of a boiler or combustion engine and any other equipment that is physically connected to either, including duct burners and other combustion devices, heat recovery systems, steam turbines, generators and emission control devices, and that generates electricity and, if applicable, produces thermal energy from the combustion of fossil fuels. ( groupe ) venting emissions means controlled emissions that occur due to the design of a facility, to procedures used in the manufacture or processing of a substance or product or to pressure exceeding the capacity of the equipment at the facility. ( émissions d’évacuation ) waste emissions means emissions that result from waste disposal at a facility, including the landfilling of solid waste, the biological treatment or incineration of waste and the flaring of landfill gas. Waste emissions do not include emissions from the combustion of tires or asphalt shingles, whether in whole or in part, to produce useful heat or on-site transportation emissions. ( émissions des déchets ) wastewater emissions means emissions resulting from industrial wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment at a facility. ( émissions des eaux usées ) WCI Method [Repealed, SOR/2023-240, s. 2] white cement means a mix composed primarily of clinker that contains 0.5% or less by weight of ferric oxide, gypsum and limestone. ( ciment blanc ) Incorporation by reference (2) Unless otherwise indicated, a reference to any document incorporated by reference into these Regulations is a reference to the document as amended from time to time. Accreditation (3) Despite subsection (2), if ISO Standard 14065 is amended, the previous version of the document may be complied with for a period of four years beginning on the day on which the amended version is published. Quantification Methods (4) Despite subsection (2), the version of Quantification Methods to be complied with for a compliance period is the version that was most recently published prior to the day on which that compliance period begins.
