CLEAN ENERGY ACT 2011 (NO. 131, 2011) - SECT 168
Emissions intensity(1) For the purposes of this Act, the emissions intensity of a generation complex is the number worked out to 3 decimal places using the formula:
where:
"carbon dioxide equivalence of emissions" means the total number of kilotonnes of the carbon dioxide equivalence of the greenhouse gases emitted from the combustion of fuel in the generation complex for the purposes of the generation of electricity during the period:
(a) beginning on 1 July 2008; and
(b) ending on 30 June 2010.
"gigawatt hours of electricity generated" means the total number of gigawatt hours of electricity generated by the generation complex during the period:
(a) beginning on 1 July 2008; and
(b) ending on 30 June 2010;
as measured at all generator terminals of the generation complex.
(2) However, the emissions intensity of a generation complex is taken to be 1.3 if the number worked out to 3 decimal places using the formula in subsection (1) is greater than 1.3.
