NATIONAL GREENHOUSE AND ENERGY REPORTING REGULATIONS 2008 - REG 4.22

Energy consumption

  (1)   If the operation of a facility of the corporation consumes energy during a reporting year, the corporation must include in its report for the facility information identifying, separately:

  (a)   the amount and energy content of the energy type consumed by means of combustion for:

  (i)   producing electricity in generating units each of which has the capacity to produce 0.5 megawatts or more of electricity and each of which generates more than 100   000 kilowatt hours of electricity in a reporting year; and

  (ii)   producing a chemical product or metal product; and

  (iii)   transport, other than transport that involves the consumption of international bunker fuel; and

  (iv)   a purpose other than a purpose mentioned in subparagraphs   (i) or (ii) or transport; and

  (b)   the amount and energy content of the energy type consumed by a means other than combustion, if that amount:

  (i)   exceeds the reporting thresholds mentioned in the Measurement Determination for this paragraph; and

  (ii)   is not reported under paragraph   (a) or subregulation   (2) or   (3); and

  (c)   the criteria in the Measurement Determination used to estimate the amount and energy content of the energy type consumed; and

  (d)   the methods in the Measurement Determination used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from the consumption of the energy; and

  (e)   the facility's net energy consumption, worked out under regulation   5.03.

  (2)   If the energy is consumed to produce a mineral, chemical or metal product during a year, the report for the facility must identify the amount and energy content of the energy type consumed during the year:

  (a)   for its carbon content in a chemical process; or

  (b)   as feedstock.

  (3)   If the energy is consumed to produce a chemical product containing carbon during a year, the report for the facility must include information identifying the amount and energy content of the energy type consumed in the production of the product during the year.

Note:   Energy content must be reported in gigajoules, in accordance with Chapter   6 of the Measurement Determination.
