where:
‘x’ represents the different fuels and energy falling within the scope of this Directive and as defined in the table below;
‘GHGix’ is the greenhouse gas intensity of the annual supply sold on the market of fuel ‘x’ or energy falling within the scope of this Directive expressed in gCO2eq/MJ. The values for fossil fuels presented in point 5 of Part 2 of Annex I are used;
‘MJx’ is the total energy supplied and converted from reported volumes of fuel ‘x’ expressed in mega joules.
(b)
Consumption data
The consumption data used for calculation of the value is as follows:
| Fuel | Energy Consumption (MJ) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| diesel | 7 894 969 × 106 | 2010 Member States reporting to the UNFCCC |
