Q-2, r. 35.4 - Regulation respecting halocarbon destruction projects eligible for the issuance of offset credits

Section 28 Disposition versions

28. For the purposes of the quantification of the GHG emission reductions attributable to the project, the promoter must calculate the GHG emissions in the baseline scenario attributable to the destruction of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants using Equation 9.

Equation 9

Where:

BER = GHG emissions in the baseline scenario attributable to the destruction of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent;

i = Type of halocarbon;

n = Number of types of halocarbons;

QR,i = Quantity of halocarbon of type i used or intended to be used as refrigerants that are recovered and sent for destruction, determined in accordance with the method in Appendix D, in metric tonnes of halocarbon of type i;

EFR,i = GHG emission factor for halocarbon of type i used or intended to be used as a refrigerant, as indicated in section 30;

GWPi = Global warming potential factor for halocarbon of type i, as indicated in section 22, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent per metric tonne of halocarbon of type i.
