Section 62 Disposition versions

2022-12-29

62. The promoter must calculate the direct emissions of nitrous oxide attributable to the spreading of quantities of inorganic nitrogenous fertilizer on the lot or part of a lot for the project at the end of a reporting period using equation 8, to ensure that the result of the calculation is entered into the most recent updated version of the calculation tool:

Equation 8

N2OSpreadingi = (NFERTi × ECBASE) ×	44
	28

Where:

N2OSpreadingi = Emissions from the spreading of nitrogenous fertilizer of type i (kg N/year);

i = Type of inorganic nitrogenous fertilizer (synthetic fertilizer);

NFERTi= Quantity of nitrogen from nitrogenous fertilizer of type i, kg N spread (kg N/year);

ECBASE= Base emission coefficient = 0.012 kg N2O-N/kg N;

44	= Conversion coefficient, N-N2O to N2O.
