53  Irrigation energy emissions
 (1) For equation 12, is worked out using the following equation:
     equation 29

  where:
is the average annual emissions from irrigation fuel in the baseline period BP for the project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 30.
is the average annual emissions from irrigation electricity in the baseline period BP for the project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, given by equation 31.
 (2) For equation 29, is worked out using the following equation:
  equation 30

  where:
n is the number of gas types g.
 is the quantity of fuel used to irrigate project area PA in the baseline period, in kilolitres.
 is the energy content factor for diesel fuel set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination, in gigajoules per kilolitre.
 is the emissions factor for each gas type g for diesel fuel set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination, in kilograms CO2-e per gigajoule.
Note: The value 1000 converts kilograms to tonnes.
 (3) For equation 29, is worked out using the following equation:
  equation 31

  where:
 is the quantity of electricity used to irrigate the project area PA over the baseline period, in kilowatt hours.
EFElec is:
 (a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document, in force at the end of the reporting period, 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 obtained 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 (worked out in accordance with subsection (4)) and is applicable at the end of the reporting period—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours); or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hours), for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force at the end of the reporting period.
 (4) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFElec in subsection (3), 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.
