 (2) The extent of the source is as provided for in this Determination.

Part 1.2—General

1.11  Purpose of Part
  This Part provides for general matters as follows:
 (a) Division 1.2.1 provides for the measurement of emissions and energy and also deals with standards;
 (b) Division 1.2.2 provides for methods for measuring emissions;
 (c) Division 1.2.3 provides requirements in relation to carbon capture and storage.

Division 1.2.1—Measurement and standards

1.12  Measurement of emissions and energy
 (1) The measurement of emissions released from the operation of a facility is to be done by estimating the emissions in accordance with this Determination.
 (2) The measurement of the production and consumption of energy from the operation of a facility is to be done by estimating the production and consumption of energy in accordance with this Determination.

1.13  General principles for measuring emissions and energy
  Estimates for this Determination must be prepared in accordance with the following principles:
 (a) transparency—emission and energy estimates must be documented and verifiable;
 (b) comparability—emission and energy estimates using a particular method and produced by a registered corporation or registered person in an industry sector must be comparable with emission and energy estimates produced by similar corporations or persons in that industry sector using the same method and consistent with the emission and energy estimates published by the Department in the National Greenhouse Accounts;
 (c) accuracy—having regard to the availability of reasonable resources by a registered corporation or registered person and the requirements of this Determination, uncertainties in emission and energy estimates must be minimised and any estimates must neither be over nor under estimates of the true values at a 95% confidence level;
 (d) completeness—all identifiable emission sources mentioned in section 1.10 must be accounted for and production and consumption of all identifiable fuels and energy commodities listed in Schedule 1 of the Regulations must be accounted for, subject to any applicable reporting thresholds.

1.14  Assessment of uncertainty
  The estimate of emissions released from the operation of a facility must include assessment of uncertainty in accordance with Chapter 8.

1.15  Units of measurement
 (1) For this Determination, measurements of fuel must be converted as follows:
 (a) for solid fuel, to tonnes; and
 (b) for liquid fuels, to kilolitres unless otherwise specified; and
 (c) for gaseous fuels, to cubic metres, corrected to standard conditions, unless otherwise specified.
 (2) For this Determination, emissions of greenhouses gases must be estimated in CO2‑e tonnes.
 (3) Measurements of energy content must be converted to gigajoules.
 (4) The National Measurement Act 1960, and any instrument made under that Act, must be used for conversions required under this section.

1.16  Rounding of amounts

 (a) an amount is worked out under this
