measured in kilograms for each gigajoule according to source in accordance with subsection (2).
R is the quantity of carbon dioxide measured in tonnes derived from the production of ammonia during the year, captured and transferred for use in the operation of another facility, estimated using an applicable criterion in Division 2.3.6 and in accordance with any other requirements of that Division.
γ is the factor 1.861 × 10‑3 for converting a quantity of carbon dioxide from cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature to CO2‑e tonnes.
RCCSCO2 is carbon dioxide captured for permanent storage measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 1.2.3.
 (2) The method for estimating emission factors for gaseous fuels in Division 2.3.3 applies for working out the factor EFij.
 (3) For the purposes of calculating R in subsection (1), if:
 (a) more than one fuel is consumed in the production of ammonia; and
 (b) the carbon dioxide generated from the production of ammonia is captured and transferred for use in the operation of another facility or captured for permanent storage;
the total amount of carbon dioxide that may be deducted in relation to the production of ammonia is to be attributed to each fuel consumed in proportion to the carbon content of the fuel relative to the total carbon content of all fuel consumed in the production of ammonia.

4.44  Method 3—ammonia production
 (1) Method 3 is the same as method 2 under section 4.43.
 (2) In applying method 2 as method 3, the method for estimating emission factors for gaseous fuels in Division 2.3.4 applies for working out the factor EFij.

Division 4.3.2—Nitric acid production

4.45  Application
  This Division applies to chemical industry nitric acid production.

4.46  Available methods
 (1) Subject to section 1.18 and this section, one of the following methods must be used for estimating emissions during a year from the operation of a facility that is constituted by the production of nitric acid at a plant:
 (a) method 1 under section 4.47;
 (b) method 2 under section 4.48;
 (c) method 4 under Part 1.3.
Note: There is no method 3 for this Division.
 (2) However, for incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
 (3) Method 1 must not be used if the plant has used measures to reduce nitrous oxide emissions.

4.47  Method 1—nitric acid production
 (1) Method 1 is:

where:
Eijk is the emissions of nitrous oxide released during the year from the production of nitric acid at plant type (k) measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
EFijk is the emission factor of nitrous oxide for each tonne of nitric acid produced during the year from plant type (k).
Aik is
