Definitions

container formation

A formation method of acid lead battery in which the battery
is assembled with non-converted plates and then converted in
the container.

container formation facility

A facility in which container formation of acid lead battery isdone. Two processes of tank formation (formation andcharging) are integrated into this facility. Drying facility intank formation is no longer needed in container formation.

tank formation

A formation method of acid lead battery in which the plates
are converted in a formation tank after being manufactured
and then assembled into a battery.

tank formation facilities

Facilities including “formation tank” and “washing facility”
at tank formation process, “drying facility” at plate drying
process, and “charging facility” at charging process.

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
Electricity and fossil fuel are consumed for the process of producing acid lead batteries in tankformation facilities.
Reference emissions from electricity consumption are calculated by multiplying specificelectricity consumption per unit of acid lead battery (SECRE) [kWh/unit], production output ofacid lead battery [units/p], and CO2 emission factor for electricity consumed [tCO2/MWh].
Reference emissions from fuel consumption are calculated by multiplying specific net calorificvalue required for fuel consumption per unit of acid lead battery (SNCVRE) [MJ/unit],production output of acid lead battery [units/period] and CO2 emission factor for fuel which isdetermined as per a factory where a JCM project is implemented [tCO2/GJ].
In this methodology, SECRE is calculated with the equation specified, which is formulated in aconservative manner by excluding the electricity consumption by chiller and cooling tower toachieve net emission reductions while typical configuration of the equipment for producing acidlead batteries in tank formation facilities consists of the followings: formation tank, charging
facility, chiller and cooling tower and other tank formation facilities such as washing facility
and/or drying facility.
