Definitions

container formation

A formation method of lead acid 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 lead acid 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 lead acid 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.

Electricity consumption of reference tank formation facilities iscalculated with production output of lead acid battery andspecific electricity consumption by the reference facilities.
Reference emissions from fuel consumption are calculated bymultiplying net heat quantity required for fuel consumption toproduce lead acid battery by reference tank formation facilities
and CO2 emission factor.
Net heat quantity required for fuel consumption to produce leadacid battery by reference tank formation facilities is calculatedwith production output of lead acid battery and specific net heat
quantity required for fuel consumption per lead acid battery by
the reference facilities.

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
Electricity and fossil fuel are consumed for the process of producing lead acid batteries in tankformation facilities.
Reference emissions from electricity consumption are calculated by multiplying specificelectricity consumption per unit of lead acid battery type i (SECRE,i) [kWh/unit], production
output of lead acid battery type i [units/p], and CO2 emission factor for electricity consumed[tCO2/MWh].
Reference emissions from fuel consumption are calculated by multiplying specific net heat
quantity required for fuel consumption per unit of lead acid battery type i (SNHQRE,i) [MJ/unit],production output of lead acid battery type i [units/period] and CO2 emission factor for fuelwhich is determined 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 leadacid 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.
