F1SCHEDULE 3AACTUAL VALUE METHOD FOR CALCULATING EMISSIONS FROM THE USE OF BIOMASS

Annotations:

2

In this Schedule—

a

ηel is equal to AF where—

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;

b

ηh is equal to HFwhere—

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;

c

Ch is equal to—

i

where T is less than 423 kelvin, 0.3546;

ii

in any other case, T273T;

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 “eu = emissions from the fuel in use” there was substituted “eu = 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—

16

Emission saving from excess electricity from cogeneration shall be taken to be zero.

ix

in paragraph 17, for each reference to “fuel” there was substituted “biomass”;

x

in paragraph 18—

aa

for “fuel” there was substituted “biomass”;

bb

the words “biofuels and bioliquids” were omitted;

cc

for “fuels” there was substituted “biomass”; and

xi

paragraph 19 was omitted; 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.
