ANNEX IV U.K. Activity-specific monitoring methodologies related to installations (Article 20(2))

21. DETERMINATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM CO₂ CAPTURE ACTIVITIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRANSPORT AND GEOLOGICAL STORAGE IN A STORAGE SITE PERMITTED UNDER DIRECTIVE 2009/31/EC U.K.

B. Quantification of transferred and emitted CO2 amounts U.K.

B.1. Installation level quantification U.K.

Each operator shall calculate the emissions by taking into account the potential CO₂ emissions from all emission relevant processes at the installation, as well as the amount of CO₂ captured and transferred to the transport network, using the following formula:

E_{capture installation} = T_input + E_{without capture} – T_for storage

Where:

E_{capture installation}

=

Total greenhouse gas emissions of the capture installation;

T_input

=

Amount of CO₂ transferred to the capture installation, determined in accordance with Article 40 to 46 and Article 49.

E_{without capture}

=

Emissions of the installation assuming the CO₂ were not captured, meaning the sum of the emissions from all other activities at the installation, monitored in accordance with relevant sections of Annex IV;

T_for storage

=

Amount of CO₂ transferred to a transport network or a storage site, determined in accordance with Article 40 to 46 and Article 49.

In cases where CO₂ capture is carried out by the same installation as the one from which the captured CO₂ originates, the operator shall use zero for T_input.

In cases of stand-alone capture installations, the operator shall consider E_{without capture} to represent the amount of emissions that occur from other sources than the CO₂ transferred to the installation for capture. The operator shall determine those emissions in accordance with this Regulation.

In the case of stand-alone capture installations, the operator of the installation transferring CO₂ to the capture installation shall deduct the amount T_input from the emissions of its installation in accordance with Article 49.
