Separate calculation (3.1) For the purposes of subsection (3), if both the N 2 O emission value and the CH 4 emission value exceed 0.05 g/mile, the N 2 O and CH 4 emission deficits must be calculated separately. Family emission limit (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), every vehicle within a fleet or subfleet must conform to the N 2 O or CH 4 family emission limit for the fleet or subfleet, as the case may be. Offsetting deficit (5) The deficit calculated under subsection (3) must be offset by using the CO 2 emission credits obtained in accordance with sections 34 to 47 for the averaging set in which the fleet is included. No credits (6) For greater certainty, the company must not obtain CO 2 emission credits with respect to N 2 O and CH 4 emissions for the purpose of participation in the CO 2 emission credit system set out in sections 34 to 47 .
