61  Site emissions in a measurement period
 (1) The emissions of greenhouse gas at a site in a population in the project in a measurement period in the reporting period is worked out using the formula (equation 17):
where:
EM,s means the emissions of greenhouse gas at the site in the measurement period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
QE,M,s means the amount of electricity consumed, from an electricity grid, at the site in the measurement period, in kilowatt hours, monitored in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
EFE means:
 (a) if the site is connected to an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document, in force on the day the project is declared to be an eligible offsets project, includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (b) if the site is connected to an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a)—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force on the day the project is declared to be an eligible offsets project.
j means a type of greenhouse gas emitted from the combustion of natural gas at the site in the measurement period.
QGas,M,s means the amount of natural gas consumed at the site in the measurement period, in gigajoules, monitored in accordance with the monitoring requirements.
EFGas,j means the emissions factor for natural gas and greenhouse gas type j, in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule, specified in Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 (2) If only the consumption of electricity is measured at the site in the measurement period, then the value of QGas,M,s is taken to be zero for that period.
 (3) If only the consumption of natural gas is measured at the site in the measurement period, then the value of QE,M,s is taken to be zero for that period.
