Division 5.4.5—Wastewater handling (industrial)—Flaring of methane in sludge biogas

5.48  Method 1—flaring of methane in sludge biogas
 (1) For paragraph 5.41(2)(a), method 1 is:

where:
Ej flared is the emissions of gas type (j) released from flaring of the methane in sludge biogas by the plant during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qflared is the quantity of methane in sludge biogas flared by the plant during the year measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 2.3.6.
ECi is the energy content factor of methane in sludge biogas measured in gigajoules per cubic metre (see Schedule 1).
EFij is the relevant emission factor for gas type (j) for methane in sludge biogas in CO2‑e tonnes per gigajoule (see Schedule 1).
 (2) For Qflared in subsection (1), the methane in sludge biogas is taken to constitute 70% of the sludge biogas.

5.49  Method 2—flaring of methane in sludge biogas
 (1) For paragraph 5.41(2)(b) and subject to this section, method 2 is the same as method 1 under section 5.48.
 (2) In applying method 1 under section 5.48, Qflared must be determined in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements in Subdivision 2.3.3.2 and the measuring requirements in Division 2.3.6.

5.50  Method 3—flaring of methane in sludge biogas
 (1) For paragraph 5.41(2)(c) and subject to this section, method 3 is the same as method 1 under section 5.48.
 (2) In applying method 1 under section 5.48, Qflared must be determined in accordance with the sampling and analysis requirements in Division 2.3.4 and the measuring requirements in Division 2.3.6.

Part 5.5—Waste incineration

5.51  Application
  This Part applies to emissions released from waste incineration, other than incineration for energy production.

5.52  Available methods—emissions of carbon dioxide from waste incineration
 (1) Subject to section 1.18, one of the following methods must be used for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide released from the operation of a facility that is constituted by waste incineration (the plant):
 (a) method 1 under section 5.53;
 (b) method 4 under Part 1.3.
Note: There is no method 2 or 3 for this section.
 (2) For incidental emissions, another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.

5.53  Method 1—emissions of carbon dioxide released from waste incineration
 (1) Method 1 is:

where:
Ei is the emissions of carbon dioxide released from the incineration of waste type (i) by the plant during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qi is the quantity of waste type (i) incinerated by the plant during the year measured in tonnes of wet weight value in accordance with:
 (a) Division 2.2.5 for solid
