and Emissions Factors.
 (5) Emissions from diesel fuel used for tillage events must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation R3

      Where:

 = emissions from diesel fuel used for tillage events in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
  = number of gas types.
  = tilled area in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; ha.
 = energy content factor for diesel fuel as set out in the NGER Measurement Determination; GJ / kL.
  = emission factor for each gas type g for diesel fuel as set out in the NGER Measurement Determination; kg CO2-e / GJ.
  = default diesel fuel use per hectare; kL / ha.
  = conversion factor from kg CO2-e to t CO2-e.
Note 1: Values for ECF and EFFg are specified in Part 4 of Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination.
Note 2: A default fuel use quantity of 0.012 kL of diesel fuel per hectare has been developed considering a range of different tillage types.
 (6) Total emissions from residues and tillage events for each year of the baseline emissions period for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation R4

      Where:

 = total emissions from residues and tillage events in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
 = emissions from diesel fuel used for tillage events in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
  = emissions from all crop types in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
 (7) Mean annual emissions from residues and tillage for the baseline emissions period for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation R5

      Where:

 = mean annual emissions from all tillage events in the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 = total emissions from residues and tillage in year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 = year of the baseline emissions period, being year 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
