ANNEX IVMETHOD OF CALCULATING THE TOTAL GWP OF A MIXTURE

The GWP of a mixture is calculated as a weighted average, derived from the sum of the weight fractions of the individual substances multiplied by their GWP, unless otherwise specified, including substances that are not fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Σ Substance X %× GWP+Substance Y %× GWP+ … Substance N %× GWPmath,

where % is the contribution by weight with a weight tolerance of +/– 1 %.

For example: applying the formula to a blend of gases consisting of 60 % dimethyl ether, 10 % HFC-152a and 30 % isobutane:

Σ 60 %× 1+10 %× 124+30 %× 3math

→ Total GWP = 13,9

The GWP of the following non-fluorinated substances are used to calculate the GWP of mixtures. For other substances not listed in this annex a default value of 0 applies.

ANNEX VCALCULATION OF THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY, REFERENCE VALUES AND QUOTAS FOR PLACING HYDROFLUOROCARBONS ON THE MARKET

Annotations:
Amendments (Textual)

F2... F3... The maximum quantity referred to in Article 15(1) shall be calculated by applying the following percentages to the annual average of the total quantity placed on the market into F1any part of Great Britain during F4the period F52015 to 2019 plus any necessary adjustment value, and subsequently subtracting the amounts for exempted uses according to Article 15(2), on the basis of available data.

The maximum quantity, reference values and quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred to in Articles 15 and 16 shall be calculated as the aggregated quantities of all types of hydrofluorocarbons, expressed in tonne(s) of CO2 equivalent.

The calculation of reference values and quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred to in Articles 15 and 16 shall be based on the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons producers and importers have placed on the market in F1any part of Great Britain during the reference or allocation period F6plus any necessary adjustment value but excluding quantities of hydrofluorocarbons for the usage referred to in Article 15(2) during the same period, on the basis of available data.

Transactions referred to in point (c) of Article 15(2) shall be verified in accordance with Article 19(6) regardless of the quantities involved.

F7In this Annex, “necessary adjustment value” means a value determined by the Secretary of State to be necessary to ensure that the maximum quantity and reference values are no lower than they would have been if Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 applied to Great Britain.

The necessary adjustment value shall expire two years after the entry into force of these Regulations.

ANNEX VIALLOCATION MECHANISM REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 16

1.

Determination of the quantity to be allocated to undertakings for which a reference value has been established under Article 16(1) and (3)

Each undertaking for which a reference value has been established receives a quota corresponding to 89 % of the reference value multiplied by the percentage indicated in Annex V for the respective year.

2.

Determination of the quantity to be allocated to undertakings that have submitted a declaration under Article 16(2)

The sum of the quotas allocated under point 1 is subtracted from the maximum quantity for the given year set out in Annex V to determine the quantity to be allocated to undertakings for which no reference value has been established and which have submitted a declaration under Article 16(2) (quantity to be allocated in step 1 of the calculation).

2.1.Step 1 of the calculation

Each undertaking receives an allocation corresponding to the quantity requested in its declaration, but no more than a pro-rata share of the quantity to be allocated in step 1.

The pro-rata share is calculated by dividing 100 by the number of undertakings that have submitted a declaration. The sum of the quotas allocated in step 1 is subtracted from the quantity to be allocated in step 1 to determine the quantity to be allocated in step 2.

2.2.Step 2 of the calculation

Each undertaking that has not obtained 100 % of the quantity requested in its declaration in step 1 receives an additional allocation corresponding to the difference between the quantity requested and the quantity obtained in step 1. However, this must not exceed the pro-rata share of the quantity to be allocated in step 2.

The pro-rata share is calculated by dividing 100 by the number of undertakings eligible for an allocation in step 2. The sum of the quotas allocated in step 2 is subtracted from the quantity to be allocated in step 2 to determine the quantity to be allocated in step 3.

2.3.Step 3 of the calculation

Step 2 is repeated until all requests are satisfied or the remaining quantity to be allocated in the next phase is less than 500 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

3.

Determination of the quantity to be allocated to undertakings that have submitted a declaration under Article 16(4)

For the allocation of quotas for 2015 to 2017 the sum of the quotas allocated under points 1 and 2 is subtracted from the maximum quantity for the given year set out in Annex V to determine the quantity to be allocated to undertakings for which a reference value has been established and that have submitted a declaration under Article 16(4).

The allocation mechanism set out under points 2.1 and 2.2 applies.

For the allocation of quotas for 2018 and every year thereafter, undertakings that have submitted a declaration under Article 16(4) shall be treated in the same way as undertakings that have submitted a declaration under Article 16(2).
