CHAPTER III

MONITORING OF EMISSIONS OF STATIONARY INSTALLATIONS
SECTION 4

Special provisions

Transferred CO 2
Article 49
1
The operator shall subtract from the emissions of the installation any amount of CO
2
originating from fossil carbon in activities covered by Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC that is not emitted from the installation, but:
a
transferred out of the installation to any of the following:
1. a capture installation for the purpose of transport and long-term geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC;
2. a transport network with the purpose of long-term geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC;
3. a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC for the purpose of long-term geological storage;
b
transferred out of the installation and used to produce precipitated calcium carbonate, in which the used CO
2
is chemically bound.
2
In its annual emissions report, the operator of the transferring installation shall provide the receiving installation's installation identification code recognised in accordance with the acts adopted pursuant to Article 19(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, if the receiving installation is covered by that Directive. In all other cases, the operator of the transferring installation shall provide the name, address and contact information of a contact person for the receiving installation.
The first subparagraph shall also apply to the receiving installation with respect to the transferring installation's installation identification code.
3
For the determination of the quantity of CO
2
transferred from one installation to another, the operator shall apply a measurement-based methodology, including in accordance with Articles 43, 44 and 45. The emission source shall correspond to the measurement point and the emissions shall be expressed as the quantity of CO
2
transferred.
For the purpose of point (b) of paragraph 1, the operator shall apply a calculation-based methodology.
4
For determining the quantity of CO
2
transferred from one installation to another, the operator shall apply the highest tier as defined in section 1 of Annex VIII.
However, the operator may apply the next lower tier provided that it establishes that applying the highest tier as defined in section 1 of Annex VIII is technically not feasible or incurs unreasonable costs.
For determining the quantity of CO
2
chemically bound in precipitated calcium carbonate, the operator shall use data sources representing highest achievable accuracy.
5
The operators may determine quantities of CO
2
transferred out of the installation both at the transferring and at the receiving installation. In such cases, Article 48(3) shall apply.
Substituted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 of 19 December 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (Text with EEA relevance).
