41N  Emissions from purchased electricity use: displacement abatement

       (1) The emissions from purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility m during a reporting period, EPE, displacement, m (in tonnes CO2-e) is worked out using the formula (equation 28):

       where:

       QPE, displacement, m is the amount of purchased electricity that is specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility m during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, determined in accordance with the monitoring requirements.

       EFPE, displacement is
          (a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or
          (b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:
 (i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour, for off-grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document.

       (2) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFPE, displacement in subsection (1), the emissions factor must be worked out:
          (a) on a sent-out basis; and
          (b) using a measurement or estimation approach that is consistent with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
