Chapter 1—General

Part 1.1—Preliminary

1.1  Name of Determination

This Determination is the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008.

Division 1.1.1—Overview

1.3  Overview—general

(1) This determination is made under section 10 of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007. It provides for the measurement of the following:

(a)  greenhouse gas emissions arising from the operation of facilities;

(b)  the production of energy arising from the operation of facilities;

(c)  the consumption of energy arising from the operation of facilities.

Note:          Facility has the meaning given by section 9 of the Act.

(2)  This determination deals with scope 1 emissions and scope 2 emissions.

Note:          Scope 1 emission and scope 2 emission have the meaning given by section 10 of the Act (also see, respectively, regulations 2.23 and 2.24 of the Regulations).

(3)  There are 4 categories of scope 1 emissions dealt with in this Determination.

Note:          This Determination does not deal with emissions released directly from land management.

(4)  The categories of scope 1 emissions are:

(a)  fuel combustion, which deals with emissions released from fuel combustion (see Chapter 2); and

(b)  fugitive emissions from fuels, which deals with emissions mainly released from the extraction, production, processing and distribution of fossil fuels (see Chapter 3); and

(c)  industrial processes emissions, which deals with emissions released from the consumption of carbonates and the use of fuels as feedstock or as carbon reductants, and the emission of synthetic gases in particular cases (see Chapter 4); and

(d)  waste emissions, which deals with emissions mainly released from the decomposition of organic material in landfill or other facilities, or wastewater handling facilities (see Chapter 5).

(5)  Each of the categories has various subcategories.

1.4  Overview—methods for measurement

(1)  This Determination provides methods and criteria for the measurement of the matters mentioned in subsection 1.3(1).

(2)  For scope 1 emissions or scope 2 emissions:

(a)  method 1 (known as the default method) is derived from the National Greenhouse Accounts methods and is based on national average estimates; and

(b)  method 2 is generally a facility specific method using industry practices for sampling and Australian or equivalent standards for analysis; and

(c)  method 3 is generally the same as method 2 but is based on Australian or equivalent standards for both sampling and analysis; and

(d)  method 4 provides for facility specific measurement of emissions by continuous or periodic emissions monitoring.

Note:          Method 4, that applies as indicated by provisions of this Determination, is as set out in Part 1.3.

1.5  Overview—energy

Chapter 6 deals with the estimation of the production and consumption of energy.

1.6  Overview—scope 2 emissions

Chapter 7 deals with scope 2 emissions.

1.7  Overview—assessment of uncertainty

Chapter 8 deals with the assessment of uncertainty.

Division 1.1.2—Definitions and interpretation
