1. The greenhouse gas emissions from the use of biomass are equal to—
(a)where the biomass is used by a combined heat and power generating station, ;
2. In this Schedule—
(i)A is the total amount of electricity generated by the generating station during the obligation period; and
(ii)F is the energy content of all of the fuels used in generating that electricity during the obligation period;
(i)F has the same meaning as in sub-paragraph (a)(ii); and
(ii)H is the energy content of all of the heat supplied to any premises by the generating station during the obligation period;
(i)where T is less than 423 kelvin, 0.3546;
(d)E is the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of the biomass and is to be calculated in accordance with Part C of Annex V to the Renewables Directive but as if the following modifications were made to Part C of that Annex—
(i)in paragraph 1—
(aa)for “and use of transport fuels, biofuels and bioliquids” there was substituted “of biomass”;
(bb)for “E = total emissions from the use of the fuel” there was substituted “E = greenhouse gas emissions from the production of the biomass”;
(cc)for “ = emissions from the fuel in use” there was substituted “
= zero”;
(ii)in paragraph 2, for the references to “fuels” and “fuel” there was substituted in each case “biomass”;
(iii)paragraphs 3 and 4 were omitted;
(iv)in paragraph 7—
(aa)for each reference to “biofuel” there was substituted “biomass”;
(bb)the words “or bioliquid” were omitted in each place in which those words occur;
(v)in paragraph 11, for “fuel” there was substituted “biomass”;
(vi)paragraph 13 was omitted;
(vii)in paragraph 14, for “fuel” there was substituted “biomass”;
(viii)for paragraph 16 there was substituted—

(dd)for “fuels” there was substituted “biomass”;]
[F3(xi)for paragraph 19 there was substituted—
“19. Where material is added to the biomass to act as a binding agent or to reduce the emissions of dust, carbon dioxide, methane or nitrous oxide from the use of biomass, the material so added shall be considered to have zero life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, provided that the material so added does not exceed 2% by weight of the biomass.”; and]
(e)T is the maximum temperature in degrees kelvin of heat or steam which is (or may be) supplied by the generating station to any premises.]
