67  Calculating emissions from fuel use
         (1) For each reporting period, emissions from fuel use for the project area must be calculated:
           1.     from the end of the previous reporting period to the last month of the current reporting period;
           2.     from either:
               1.             raw data; or
               2.             estimates for quantities and types of fuel used; and
           3.     using Equations 14 and 15.
         (2) For each reporting period, the fuel emissions for each fuel type and each greenhouse gas type (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane) for the reporting period for the project area must be calculated using the following formula:

  Equation 14

          where:
  fuel emissions for fuel type f and greenhouse gas k for the reporting period for the project area (in tonnes CO2-e).
  quantity of fuel type f combusted within the reporting period for the project area (in kilolitres).
  energy content factor of fuel type f, as prescribed in Schedule 1 of the NGER Measurement Determination (in gigajoules per kilolitre).
  emission factor for gas type k for fuel type f as prescribed in Schedule 1 to the NGER Measurement Determination (in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule).
  fuel type.
  type of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide) emitted for a given fuel type.

Note: The relevant energy content and emission factors are included, with worked examples, in the National Greenhouse Accounts Factors available via the Department's website. If  is measured in gigajoules, then  = 1.
         (3)  For each reporting period, total emissions from fuel use in the reporting period for the project area must be calculated using the following formula:

  Equation 15

          where:
  total fuel emissions for the project area (in tonnes CO2-e).
  fuel emissions for each fuel type f and each greenhouse gas k (in tonnes CO2-e) for the reporting period for the project area—see Equation 14.
  number of different types of fuel.
  number of different types of greenhouse gas emitted for a given fuel type.
  fuel type.
  type of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide) emitted for a given fuel type.
