24. 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 using equations 3 and 4.

Equation 3

Where:

BE = GHG emissions in the baseline scenario attributable to the destruction of halocarbons in metric tonnes CO2 equivalent;

i = Type of halocarbon;

n = Number of types of halocarbons;

Q init, i = Initial quantity of halocarbon of type i contained in foam prior to removal from appliances, calculated using Equation 4, in metric tonnes of halocarbon of type i;

EF,i = GHG emission factor for halocarbon of type i, as indicated in section 26;

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;

Equation 4

Where:

Q init, i = Initial quantity of halocarbon of type i contained in foam prior to removal from appliances, in metric tonnes of halocarbon of type i;

Q final, i = Final quantity of halocarbon of type i extracted and sent for destruction, determined in accordance with the method in Appendix D, in metric tonnes of halocarbon of type i;

EE = Extraction efficiency of the extraction process for halocarbons, determined in accordance with the method in Appendix E;

i = Type of halocarbon.
