✨ Emissions Calculation Rules
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 75

Geothermal fluid
Emissions = A x EF
where:
A = consumption of geothermal fluid (in tonnes)
EF = emission factor for geothermal fluid.
Used or waste oil
Emissions = A × CV × EF
where:
A = consumption of used or waste oil (in tonnes)
CV = calorific value of the used or waste oil
EF = emission factor for the used or waste oil.
-
Emissions from industrial processes must be calculated using the formulae set out in Part 3 of the Climate Change (Stationary Energy and Industrial Processes) Regulations 2009.
-
The emission factors used in calculating emissions must be those listed in Schedule 2 of the Climate Change (Stationary Energy and Industrial Processes) Regulations 2009.
-
Indirect emissions from electricity use must be calculated using the following formula:
Emissions = A × EAF
where:
A = consumption of electricity (in MWh)
EAF = electricity allocation factor. -
For eligibility purposes, electricity emissions must be estimated using an electricity allocation factor of 1 tonne of CO₂-e per megawatt hour of consumption.
-
For allocative baseline purposes, electricity emissions must be estimated using an electricity allocation factor of 0.52 tonnes of CO₂-e per megawatt hour of consumption.
-
Best endeavours must be used in calculating emissions. Simplified and reasonable emission calculation methods of the person’s own design can be used for specified small emissions sources that are either excluded or included emissions, and are, in aggregate, estimated to be no more than 5% of total emissions from the activity at the site, provided that a 5% change in total estimated emissions would not change the eligibility status of the activity, if the activity of the person was considered in isolation when making a decision about eligibility. All methods used must be disclosed in the bases of preparation.
-
All emissions associated with the activity must be counted, regardless of whether the output is of saleable quality.
Data Preparation Rules
-
The methods, assumptions and calculations used to produce the data must be disclosed in the bases of preparation along with the data in the specified template.
-
Where uncertainties arise when determining emission and revenue data, these uncertainties must be declared in the bases of preparation.
