Section 4: Emissions data – data entry
The guidance provided below relates specifically to the data entry requirements for the Data Form where a firm uses a bottoming cycle co-generation plant. Firms should also refer to the general guidance provided in the Guide and the Supplementary Guide I for completing the data entry boxes in the Emissions tabs of the Data Form.
Boxes 19–53: Fuel combustion emissions
Enter into Boxes 19 to 53 the quantity of fuel used or combusted associated with each product (basis of allocation). This includes fuel used as part of the activity by the relevant product (basis of allocation) from which waste gases were produced and used to generate electricity by the bottoming cycle co-generation plant. Where more than one product (basis of allocation) is specified in the Gazette notice, firms are required to apportion fuel combustion emissions between each product (basis of allocation). Please refer to page 2 of Supplementary Guide I for further information.
Boxes 54–55: Electricity emissions
Enter into Box 54 the amount of electricity used as part of the activity by the relevant product (basis of allocation).
Where the electricity used as part of the activity by the relevant product (basis of allocation) cannot be clearly measured on the basis of electricity consumption of the processes that result in each product, firms must apply reasonable estimates and transparent assumptions. The approach used to apportion electricity generated between each product (basis of allocation) must be clearly disclosed in the Bases of Preparation (in Section 4.2.1, under the first question).
