58  Petajoule‑kilometres of natural gas distribution
 (1) Petajoule‑kilometres of natural gas:
 (a) delivered to customers as part of carrying on the natural gas distribution activity at the facility; and
 (b) that is not lost or consumed as part of carrying on the natural gas distribution activity; and
 (c) that is only counted once.
 (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that conducts the activity of transporting natural gas through natural gas distribution pipelines to customers (the natural gas distribution activity) and reports emissions under Division 3.3.8 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 (3) The default emissions intensity is 0.196 t CO2‑e per petajoule‑kilometre.
 (4) The energy content of natural gas:
 (a) must be measured as the higher heating value energy content; and
 (b) may include the energy content of hydrogen included in the natural gas so long as the natural gas mixture meets applicable standards for gas within the network (such as Australian Standard 4564:2020).
 Note: In 2020, AS 4564 was available from http://www.standards.org.au.
  (5) In this section:
natural gas has the meaning given by the NGER Regulations.
natural gas distribution pipelines mean pipelines for the conveyance of natural gas that report emissions under Division 3.3.8 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
petajoule‑kilometre means the multiplication of:
 (a) the total energy content, in petajoules, of natural gas delivered to customers by means of a natural gas distribution pipelines which are part of the facility; and
 (b) the total length, in kilometres, of the natural gas distribution pipelines used to deliver natural gas to customers as part of the facility as at the end of the relevant financial year.
 Note: Natural gas distribution pipelines not used in the delivery of natural gas to customers are not included in these kilometres.
