52  Residue, tillage and soil landscape modification emissions
 (1) For equation 12,  is worked out using the following equation:
  equation 22

  where:
is the total emissions from residues and tillage events and soil landscape modification activities during year B of the baseline period BP for the project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 23.
B is the year of the baseline period, from 1 to 5.

 (2) For equation 22, is worked out using the following equation:
  equation 23

  where:
 is the emissions from diesel fuel used for tillage events and soil landscape modification activities in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 24.
is the emissions from the residues of all crop types in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, given by equation 25.
Note: To avoid doubt, sowing with tillage (e.g using discs or tynes) is considered tillage.
is the emissions from pasture tillage events i in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 27.
 is the emissions from the residues of all cover crops in in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 28.
 (3) For equation 23, is worked out using the following equation:

  equation 24

  where:
n is the number of gas types g.
 is the tilled area in year B of the baseline period in a project area PA, in hectares.
is the estimate of the diesel fuel use in kilolitres per hectare determined by the Supplement for tillage events
 is the energy content factor for diesel fuel set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination, in gigajoules per kilolitre.
 is the emissions factor for each gas type g for diesel fuel set out in the NGER (Measurement) Determination, in kilograms CO2-e per gigajoule.
 is the quantity of fuel used for soil landscape modification activities in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in kilolitres.
Note: The value 1000 converts kilograms to tonnes.
 (4) For equation 23, is worked out using the following equation:
  equation 25

  where:
is the emissions from the residues of crop type v in year B of the baseline period in project area PA, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 26.
n is the number of crop types and residue burning combinations (burnt/unburnt) grown in year B in the project area PA.
v is the crop type as specified in the Supplement and residue burning status (burnt/unburnt)
Note:  If residue burning only occurred for certain paddocks of a crop type, Equation 26 is repeated for the burnt
