greenhouse gases at a capture point n for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, are worked out using the formula (equation 7):
  ECREScope2,n = Qecre,n  ×  EF / 1000
  where:
  ECREScope2,n means the scope 2 emissions relating to the capture of greenhouse gases at the capture point for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.
  Qecre,n means the quantity of electricity used during the reporting period in relation to the capture of greenhouse gases for permanent storage by the project at the capture point during the reporting period, in kilowatt hours, worked out in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
  EF means:
 (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 its equivalent of tonnes CO2-e per megawatt 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 (5))—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hour); or
               (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour (or its equivalent of tonnes CO2‑e per megawatt hour), for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document.
 (5) For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EF in subsection (4), 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.
 (6) If the NGER (Measurement) Determination does not include any relevant measurement or estimation approach, the emissions factor must be worked out in a manner that is consistent with relevant standards and other requirements under the National Measurement Act 1960.
Note: In many cases energy from the same source will be used in the capture processes and in the capture point's ordinary production process. In this circumstance, emissions from that source will need to be apportioned to the capture process based on the energy use of that process.
