  In this determination:
Act means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.
capture point means any plant, building, structure or stationary equipment at which greenhouse gases:
 (a) generated from industrial processes (including electricity generation); or
 (b) extracted from a hydrocarbon field;
are captured by a person for the purpose of permanent storage by the holder of a relevant authority in a storage site or any part of it.
Note: The capture of greenhouse gases may or may not be undertaken by the holder of a relevant authority who permanently stores them in a storage site or any part of it.
carbon capture and storage project has the meaning given by section 7.
CCS project plan has the meaning given by subsection 9(2).
co-mingled greenhouse gases means a greenhouse gas stream constituted of:
 (a) greenhouse gases that are captured for permanent storage by a carbon capture and storage project at one or more capture points used by the project and subjected to processing, compression and transportation for the purpose of being permanently stored by the project; and
 (b) greenhouse gases that are captured for permanent storage by any other project and subjected to processing, compression and transportation for a purpose other than being permanently stored by the project.
GWPCH4 means the global warming potential value for methane set out in regulation 2.02 of the NGER Regulations.
GWPN2O means the global warming potential value for nitrous oxide set out in regulation 2.02 of the NGER Regulations.
injection point means the pipe and associated infrastructure that conveys greenhouse gases from the surface to the subsurface for permanent storage in a storage site or any part of it, but does not include a pipeline involved in conveying greenhouse gases from a capture point to the surface of the storage site.
monitoring and verification activities mean the monitoring, verification, measurement and estimation activities conducted by a project proponent in relation to each storage site used in a carbon capture and storage project.
NGA Factors document means the document entitled "National Greenhouse Accounts Factors", published by the Department and as in force from time to time.
Note:   In September 2021, the NGA Factors document could be viewed on the Department's website (http://www.industry.gov.au).
NGER (Measurement) Determination means the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008.
NGER Regulations means the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008.
non-monitored period has the meaning given by subsection 37(1).
off-taker means a person to whom greenhouse gases captured at a capture point are transferred for a purpose other than permanent storage by the project.
Note: The owner or operator of the capture point can be an off-taker.
permanently stored, in relation to greenhouse gases, means storage of
