liquid fuels (Part 2.4);
 (iv) fuel use by certain industries (Part 2.5);
 (b) the measurement of fuels in blended fuels (Part 2.6);
 (c) the estimation of energy for certain purposes (Part 2.7).

Part 2.2—Emissions released from the combustion of solid fuels

Division 2.2.1—Preliminary

2.2  Application
  This Part applies to emissions released from the combustion of solid fuel in relation to a separate instance of a source if the amount of solid fuel combusted in relation to the separate instance of the source is more than 1 tonne.

2.3  Available methods for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide
 (1) Subject to section 1.18, for estimating emissions released from the combustion of a solid fuel consumed from the operation of a facility during a year:
 (a) one of the following methods must be used for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide:
 (i)  subject to subsection (3), method 1 under section 2.4;
 (ii) method 2 using an oxidation factor under section 2.5 or an estimated oxidation factor under section 2.6;
 (iii) method 3 using an oxidation factor or an estimated oxidation factor under section 2.12;
 (iv) method 4 under Part 1.3; and
 (b) method 1 under section 2.4 must be used for estimating emissions of methane and nitrous oxide.
 (2) However, for incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
 (3) Method 1 must not be used for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide for the main fuel combusted from the operation of the facility if:
 (a) the principal activity of the facility is electricity generation (ANZSIC industry classification and code 2611); and
 (b) the generating unit:
 (i) has the capacity to produce 30 megawatts or more of electricity; and
 (ii) generates more than 50 000 megawatt hours of electricity in a reporting year.
Note: There is no method 2, 3 or 4 for paragraph (1)(b).

Division 2.2.2—Method 1—emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from solid fuels

2.4  Method 1—solid fuels
  For subparagraph 2.3(1)(a)(i), method 1 is:

where:
Eij is the emissions of gas type (j), being carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide, released from the combustion of fuel type (i) from the operation of the facility during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qi is the quantity of fuel type (i) measured in tonnes and estimated under Division 2.2.5.
ECi  is the energy content factor of fuel type (i) estimated under section 6.5.
EFijoxec is the emission factor for each gas type (j) (which includes the effect of an oxidation factor) released from the combustion of fuel type (i) measured in kilograms of CO2‑e per gigajoule according to source as mentioned in Schedule 1.
