Division 2.3.6—Measurement of quantity of gaseous fuels

2.28  Purpose of Division
  This Division sets out how quantities of gaseous fuels combusted from the operation of a facility are to be estimated for the purpose of working out the emissions released from the combustion of that fuel.

2.29  Criteria for measurement
 (1) For the purposes of calculating the combustion of gaseous fuel from the operation of a facility for a year and, in particular, for Qi in sections 2.20 and 2.21, the combustion must be estimated in accordance with this section.

Acquisition involves commercial transaction
 (2) If the acquisition of the gaseous fuel involves a commercial transaction, the quantity of fuel combusted must be estimated using one of the following criteria:
 (a) the amount of the gaseous fuel, expressed in cubic metres or gigajoules, delivered for the facility during the year as evidenced by invoices issued by the vendor of the fuel (criterion A);
 (b) as provided in section 2.30 (criterion AA);
 (c) as provided in section 2.31 (criterion AAA).
 (3) If, during a year, criterion AA, or criterion AAA using paragraph 2.31(3)(a), is used to estimate the quantity of fuel combusted, then, in each year following that year, only criterion AA, or criterion AAA using paragraph 2.31(3)(a), (respectively) is to be used.

Acquisition does not involve commercial transaction
 (4) If the acquisition of the gaseous fuel does not involve a commercial transaction, the quantity of fuel combusted must be estimated using one of the following criteria:
 (a) as provided in section 2.31 (criterion AAA);
 (b) as provided in section 2.38 (criterion BBB).

2.30  Indirect measurement—criterion AA
  For paragraph 2.29(2)(b), criterion AA is the amount of a gaseous fuel combusted from the operation of the facility during the year based on amounts delivered during the year (evidenced by invoices) as adjusted for the estimated change in the quantity of the stockpile of the fuel for the facility during the year.

2.31  Direct measurement—criterion AAA
 (1) For paragraph 2.29(2)(c), criterion AAA is the measurement during the year of a gaseous fuel combusted from the operation of the facility.
 (2) In measuring the quantity of gaseous fuel, the quantities of gas must be measured:
 (a) using volumetric measurement in accordance with:
 (i) for gases other than super‑compressed gases—section 2.32; and
 (ii) for super‑compressed gases—sections 2.32 and 2.33; and
 (b) using gas measuring equipment that complies with section 2.34.
 (3) The measurement must be either:
 (a) carried out at the point
