64. The promoter must calculate the direct GHG emissions attributable to the use of fossil fuels when implementing a silvicultural strategy on the lot or part of a lot for the project using the following equations:
Equation 9
Where:
FFECO2 = Total CO2 emissions attributable to the consumption of fossil fuels, in metric tonnes;
z = Number of types of fossil fuel;
c = Type of fossil fuel, gasoline (regular or premium) or diesel;
FFc = Total quantity of fossil fuel c consumed, in litres;
EFCO2,C = CO2 emission factor for fossil fuel c as set out in Table 27-1 of Schedule A.2 QC.27.7 of the Regulation respecting mandatory reporting of certain emissions of contaminants into the atmosphere (chapter Q-2, r. 15), in kilograms of CO2 per litre;
10-3 = Conversion factor, grams to metric tonnes.
Equation 10
Where:
FFECH4,C = Total CH4 emissions attributable to the consumption of fossil fuels, in metric tonnes;
z = Number of types of fossil fuel;
c = Type of fossil fuel, gasoline (regular or premium) or diesel;
FFc = Total quantity of fossil fuel c consumed, in litres;
EFCH4,C = CH4 emission factor for fossil fuel c as set out in Table 27-1 of Schedule A.2 QC.27.7 of the Regulation respecting mandatory reporting of certain emissions of contaminants into the atmosphere, in grams of CH4 per litre;
10-6 = Conversion factor, grams to metric tonnes.
Equation 11
Where:
FFEN2O,C = Total N2O emissions attributable to the consumption of fossil fuels, in metric tonnes;
z = Number of types of fossil fuel;
c = Type of fossil fuel, gasoline (regular or premium) or diesel;
FFc = Total quantity of fossil fuel c consumed, in litres;
EFN2O,C = N2O emission factor for fossil fuel c as set out in Table 27-1 of Schedule A.2 QC.27.7 of the Regulation respecting mandatory reporting of certain emissions of contaminants into the atmosphere, in grams of N2O per litre;
10-6 = Conversion factor, grams to metric tonnes.
