66  Calculating emissions from biomass burning
         (1)  For each reporting period, emissions of methane (CH4) for the project area due to biomass burning in the reporting period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation 11

           where:
  emissions of CH4 from biomass burning for the project area for a reporting period (in tonnes CO2-e).
  mass of CH4 emitted during the reporting period due to biomass burning in the ith carbon estimation area determined using FullCAM (in tonnes per hectare).
  area burnt in the ith carbon estimation area during the reporting period (in hectares).
  global warming potential of methane as specified in the NGER Regulations.
  total number of carbon estimation areas within the project area at the end of the reporting period.
  ith carbon estimation area.

         (2)  For each reporting period, emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) for the project area due to biomass burning in the reporting period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation 12

           where:
  emissions of N2O from biomass burning for the project area for the reporting period (in tonnes CO2-e).
  mass of N2O emitted during the reporting period due to biomass burning in the ith carbon estimation area determined using FullCAM (in kilograms per hectare).
  area burnt in the ith carbon estimation area during the reporting period (in hectares).
  global warming potential of nitrous oxide as specified in the NGER Regulations.
  total number of carbon estimation areas within the project area at the end of the reporting period.

         (3)  For each reporting period, total emissions for the project area due to biomass burning in the reporting period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation 13

           where:
  total emissions from biomass burning for the project area for the reporting period (in tonnes CO2-e).
  emissions of CH4 from biomass burning for the project area for the reporting period (in tonnes CO2-e)—see Equation 11.
  emissions of N2O from biomass burning for the project area for the reporting period (in tonnes CO2-e)—see Equation 12.
