       3.66  Method 3—crude oil refining and storage tanks for crude oil

 (1) Method 3 is:
Eij = ∑k (Qik × EFijk)
where:
Eij is the fugitive emissions of gas type (j), being methane, from the crude oil refining and from storage tanks during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Σk is the total emissions of gas type (j), being methane, measured in tonnes of CO2‑e and estimated by summing up the emissions released from each component type (k) listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium, if the component type is used in the crude oil refining and from storage tanks.
Qik is the total of the quantities of crude oil (i) that pass through each component type (k), or the number of components of each component type (k), listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium , if the component is used in the crude oil refining and from storage tanks, measured in tonnes.
EFijk is the emission factor of gas type (j), being methane, measured in tonnes of CO2‑e per tonne of crude oil that passes through each component type (k) listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium as determined under subsection (2), if the component is used in the crude oil refining and from storage tanks.
 (2) For EFijk, the emission factors for gas type (j), being methane or carbon dioxide, as crude oil passes through a component type (k), are:
 (a) as listed in section 6.1.3 of the API Compendium, for the component type; or
 (b) if the manufacturer of the component supplies component‑specific emission factors for the component type—those factors.

Subdivision 3.3.5.2—Fugitive emissions from deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents

3.67  Method 1—fugitive emissions from deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents
  Method 1 is:

where:
Ei is the fugitive emissions of carbon dioxide during the year from deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents in the crude oil refining measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qi is the quantity of refinery coke (i) burnt to restore the activity of the catalyst of the crude oil refinery (and not used for energy) during the year measured in tonnes.
CCFi is the carbon content factor for refinery coke (i) as mentioned in Schedule 3.
3.664 is the conversion factor to convert an amount of carbon in tonnes to an amount of carbon dioxide in tonnes.

3.68  Method 4—deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents
 (1) Method 4 is:
 (a) is as set out in Part 1.3; or
 (b) uses the process calculation approach in section 5.2 of the API Compendium.
 (2) For paragraph (1)(b), all carbon monoxide is taken to fully oxidise
