-
emission intensity in respect of a qualified natural gas energy system, means the tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere for each gigawatt hour of electrical energy produced as determined by the formula A ÷ B where A is the number determined by the formula C − D − E where C is the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions, expressed in tonnes, during an operating year, from the combustion of fuel in the system, as determined in a manner that is acceptable to the Minister of Natural Resources, D is the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions, expressed in tonnes, attributable to the production of useful thermal energy exported by the system, during the operating year, as determined in a manner that is acceptable to the Minister of Natural Resources, and E is the quantity of carbon dioxide captured from the system and stored in dedicated geological storage, expressed in tonnes, during the operating year, as determined in a manner that is acceptable to the Minister of Natural Resources; and B is the quantity of electrical energy produced by the system during the operating year, expressed in gigawatt hours, as determined in a manner that is acceptable to the Minister of Natural Resources.
