section 2.48.
 (2) Under paragraph (1)(b), the same method must be used for estimating emissions of methane and nitrous oxide.
 (3) However, for incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
Note: The combustion of liquid fuels releases emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Method 1 may be used to estimate emissions of each of these gases. There is no method 3 or 4 for emissions of methane or nitrous oxide.

Subdivision 2.4.1.2—Liquid fuels—petroleum based oils and greases

2.40A  Available methods
 (1) Subject to section 1.18, for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide released from the consumption, as lubricants, of petroleum based oils or petroleum based greases, consumed from the operation of a facility during a year, one of the following methods must be used:
 (a) method 1 under section 2.48A;
 (b) method 2 under section 2.48B;
 (c) method 3 under section 2.48C.
 (2) However, for incidental emissions, another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
Note: The consumption of petroleum based oils and greases, as lubricants, releases emissions of carbon dioxide.  Emissions of methane and nitrous oxide are not estimated directly for this fuel type.

Division 2.4.2—Method 1—emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from liquid fuels other than petroleum based oils or greases

2.41  Method 1—emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide
 (1) For subparagraphs 2.40(1)(a)(i) and (b)(i), method 1 for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide is:

where:
Eij is the emissions of gas type (j), being carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide, released from the combustion of fuel type (i) from the operation of the facility during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Qi is the quantity of fuel type (i) combusted from the operation of the facility for:
 (a) stationary energy purposes; and
 (b) transport energy purposes;
during the year measured in kilolitres and estimated under Division 2.4.6.
ECi  is the energy content factor of fuel type (i) estimated under section 6.5.
EFijoxec is the emission factor for each gas type (j) released from the operation of the facility during the year (which includes the effect of an oxidation factor) measured in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule of fuel type (i) according to source as mentioned in:
 (a) for stationary energy purposes—Part 3 of Schedule 1; and
 (b) for transport energy purposes—Division 4.1 of Schedule 1.
 (2) In this section:
stationary energy purposes means purposes for which fuel is combusted that do not involve transport energy purposes.
transport energy purposes includes purposes for which fuel is combusted that consist of any of the following:
 (a) transport by vehicles registered for road use;
 (b) rail transport;
 (c)
