O. Reg. 97/14, s. 5 (3); O. Reg. 226/18, s. 7 (2). (4) The Director may issue written directions as to the manner in which the following types of data are to be input into the GHGenius model: 1. Primary data, consisting of quantified values of products, materials or energy flows that enter and leave a production process or activity, directly measured, calculated or obtained and based on specific original source measurements. 2. Secondary data, consisting of quantified values of products, materials or energy flows that enter and leave a production process or activity, indirectly measured, calculated or obtained and not based on specific original source measurements. O. Reg. 97/14, s. 5 (4). (5) If a fuel supplier wishes to use bio-based content that is not listed in the GHGenius model, the fuel supplier shall request that the Director provide a methodology for calculating the greenhouse gas intensity of that bio-based content and the fuel supplier shall use the methodology the Director provides. O. Reg. 226/18, s. 7 (3). (6) For the purposes of calculating the formula in section 6, any portions of the volume of bio-based content in blended diesel placed in the Ontario market in a compliance year that have been transferred from the records of one fuel supplier to the records of another fuel supplier within the same compliance year may be included. O. Reg. 226/18, s. 7 (3). (7) The following rules apply when calculating the volume of bio-based content derived from solid municipal waste: 1. The bio-based carbon component shall be determined in accordance with Method B or Method C of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) document ASTM D6866, as amended from time to time, or in accordance with an equivalent set of standards and specifications that is approved in writing by the Director. 2. The bio-based carbon component shall be determined from a composite sample comprising a volume-weighted combination of samples collected weekly during a quarterly period, where a quarterly period starts on either January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1. 3. The bio-based carbon component that is determined for a quarterly period applies to the content produced during that quarter. O. Reg. 226/18, s. 7 (3).
Compliance formula
 6. The following formula shall be used to calculate the average adjusted volume of bio-based content: [{A [(91.9 − y) / 64.3] + B − C} / (D + E)] × 100 in which, “A”   is the volume of bio-based content contained in “E”, “B” is the volume of bio-based content transferred from the records of other fuel suppliers within the same compliance year, “C” is the volume of bio-based content transferred to the records of other fuel suppliers within the same compliance year, “D” is the volume of diesel that the fuel supplier placed in the Ontario market during the compliance year, “E” is the volume of blended diesel that the fuel supplier placed in the Ontario market during the compliance year, “y” is the greenhouse gas intensity of the bio-based content in blended diesel that the fuel supplier placed in the Ontario market during the compliance year, calculated on a weighted average basis by volume.
