[F1 2.   In this Schedule—

(a) is equal to 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) is equal to where—

(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) is equal to—

(i) where T is less than 423 kelvin, 0.3546;

(ii) in any other case, ;

(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”;

(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—

“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.]
