Net Welsh emissions
34
1
In this Part, the “net Welsh emissions” of a greenhouse gas for a period means the amount of Welsh emissions of that gas for the period, reduced by the amount of Welsh removals of that gas for the period.
2
“Welsh emissions” of a greenhouse gas are—
a
emissions of that gas from sources in Wales, and
b
emissions of that gas from international aviation or international shipping that count as Welsh emissions by virtue of regulations under section 35.
3
“Welsh removals” of a greenhouse gas are removals of that gas from the atmosphere due to land use in Wales, land-use change in Wales or forestry activities in Wales.
4
The amounts of Welsh emissions and Welsh removals of a greenhouse gas for a period must, so far as reasonably practicable, be determined consistently with international carbon reporting practice.
