29  Methodology determination
 (1) The Minister may, by legislative instrument, determine one or more production pathways for a product.
 (2) A production pathway, for a product, is a set of production modules.
 (3) A production module is a step in the production of a product and includes:
 (a) the use of particular equipment; and
 (b) a particular process.
 (4) If the Minister determines a production pathway for a product, the determination:
 (a) must provide that a specified unit is the functional unit of the product; and
 (b) must provide that at least one specified production module is a minimum module for the production pathway; and
 (c) may provide that a specified production module is:
 (i) an optional module for the production pathway; or
 (ii) a conditional module for the production pathway; and
 (d) may specify:
 (i) a formula or method for working out the amount of a product in a batch of the product that is produced in accordance with the production pathway; and
 (ii) one or more sources of greenhouse gas emissions for the production pathway; and
 (iii) for any source so specified—requirements for monitoring, measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions from the source; and
 (e) may specify:
 (i) a formula or method for working out the amount of a product that reaches a delivery gate for the product; and
 (ii) one or more sources of greenhouse gas emissions for a delivery module for the product; and

 (a) a method for storing the product; or
 (b) a method for transporting the product; or
 (c) a method for both storing and transporting the product.
 (6) If the Minister determines a production pathway for a product, a source of greenhouse gas emissions that is specified in the determination for the production pathway is a production emissions source for the production pathway for the product.
 (7) If the Minister specifies a source of greenhouse gas emissions relating to a delivery module for the product, a source of greenhouse gas emissions that is so specified in the determination is a post‑production emissions source for the delivery module.
 (8) Despite subsection 14(2) of the Legislation Act 2003, a determination under this section may make provision in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any matter contained in an instrument or other writing as in force or existing from time to time.
