29. For the purposes of the quantification of the GHG emission reductions attributable to the project, the promoter must calculate the GHG emissions in the project scenario attributable to the destruction of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants using equations 10 to 13.

Equation 10

PRR = ESUBR + ETDR

Where:

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

ESUBR = Total GHG emissions attributable to substitute refrigerants, calculated using Equation 11, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent;

ETDR = GHG emissions attributable to the transportation and destruction of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants, calculated using Equation 12, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent;

Equation 11

Where:

ESUBR = Total GHG emissions attributable to substitute 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;

EFSR,i = Emission factor for substitutes for halocarbons of type i as indicated in section 31, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent per metric tonne of halocarbon;

Equation 12

ETDR = QR × 7.5

Where:

ETDR = GHG emissions attributable to the transportation and destruction of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent;

QR = Total quantity of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants that are recovered and sent for destruction, calculated using Equation 13, in metric tonnes of halocarbons;

7.5 = Default emission fact for the transportation and destruction of halocarbons, in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent per metric tonne of halocarbon;

Equation 13

Where:

QR = Total quantity of halocarbons used or intended to be used as refrigerants that are recovered and sent for destruction, in metric tonnes of halocarbons;

i = Type of halocarbon;

n = Number of types of halocarbons;

QR,i = Quantity of halocarbons 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.
