site, measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
γj is the factor for converting a quantity of gas type (j) from cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature to CO2‑e tonnes, being:
 (a) for methane—6.784 × 10‑4 × GWPmethane; and
 (b) for carbon dioxide—1.861 × 10‑3; and
 (c) for any other gas type—the appropriate conversion factor for the gas type.
Qinj is the quantity of greenhouse gas injected into the storage or injection site during the year and measured in cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature.
RCCSj is the quantity of gas type (j) captured during the year worked out under Division 1.2.3 and measured in cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature. If the injection is part of enhanced oil recovery, Division 1.2.3 must be applied to enhanced oil recovery as if it was capture for permanent storage.

Division 3.4.3—Injection of greenhouse gases

Subdivision 3.4.3.1—Preliminary

3.93  Application
  This Division applies to fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases from the injection of a greenhouse gas captured for permanent storage, or captured for enhanced oil recovery, into a geological formation.
Note: A greenhouse gas is captured for permanent storage in a geological formation if the gas is captured by, or transferred to, the holder of a licence, lease or approval mentioned in section 1.19A, under a law mentioned in that section, for the purpose of being injected into a geological formation (however described) under the licence, lease or approval.
Note: Section 1.8 defines enhanced oil recovery.

3.94  Available methods
 (1) For estimating fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases released during a year from the injection of a greenhouse gas captured for permanent storage, or captured for enhanced oil recovery, into a geological formation, the methods set out in this section must be used.

Process vents, system upsets and accidents
 (2) Method 2 under section 3.95 must be used for estimating fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases that result from deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents.

Fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases other than from process vents, system upsets and accidents
 (3) One of the following methods must be used for estimating fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases from the injection of a greenhouse gas captured for permanent storage,  or captured for enhanced oil recovery, into a geological formation that are not the result of deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents:
 (a) method 2 under section 3.96;
 (b) method 3 under section 3.97.
Note: There is no method 1, 3 or 4 for subsection (2) and no method 1 or 4 for subsection (3).
