—Preliminary

Operation of this Part

For paragraph 106(1)(c) of the Act, this Part specifies the method for working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a reporting period for a lighting upgrade project that is an eligible offsets project.Note This is called the project abatement amount in this determination (see section 5).

Overview of gases accounted for in abatement calculations

The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and emissions sources that are relevant to working out the project abatement amount for a lighting upgrade project.

Greenhouse gases and emissions sourcesItem Relevant emissions

calculationEmissions source Greenhouse gas

1 Baseline emissionsProject emissions

Electricity consumption Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)

Data to be used in calculations

The project proponent for the project must use one of the following to determine energy consumption in relation to a lighting upgrade for the purpose of establishing the nominal lamp power of a lamp or luminaire:

product specifications publically released by the manufacturer;Example Specifications published on the manufacture’s website or printed specifications used for

marketing purposes. standard test reports;a manufacture’s declaration of the nominal lamp power;a power rating label affixed by the manufacturer on a lamp or luminaire.

Lighting systems to be used in calculations

For the purposes of working out the project abatement amount for a reporting period, the project proponent must include only lighting systems that are in commission before the end of the reporting period.

The proponent may choose not to include a particular lighting system in the calculations for the period.

A project proponent must not include a lighting system in the calculations if, at any time during the reporting period, any of the following circumstances apply:

the type of the serviced area of the lighting system is not the same as the type immediately before the commencement of the upgrade;for a lighting system other than a public lighting system—the serviced area of the lighting system is smaller than immediately before the commencement of the lighting upgrade;any lighting equipment is used in addition to project lighting equipment in the serviced area;after the completion of the lighting upgrade, project lighting equipment is replaced and this results in the lighting system consuming more energy than it did with the project lighting equipment.

For the purposes of paragraph (3)(b), the serviced area of the lighting system is smaller than immediately before the commencement of the upgrade if it is less than 95% of the previous service area.

—Calculating project abatement amount

Summary

The project abatement amount for a project for a reporting period is the sum of the abatement for all lighting systems in the project in the reporting period.

The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount of each lighting system is the baseline emissions minus the project emissions for the lighting system.

Equation 1—project abatement amount for the project (A)

The project abatement amount for a reporting period is worked out using the formula (equation 1):

A=∑i=1

n

A i

where:

A is the project abatement amount for the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e.

n is the number of lighting systems in the project over which abatement is measured for the reporting period.

Ai is the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for the reporting period of the ith lighting system, in tonnes CO2-e, given by equation 2.

Equation 2—net abatement amount for a lighting system (Ai)

For equation 1, Ai is worked out using the formula (equation 2):

Ai= ( E CB,i−E CP ,i ) × E Felec , i

where:

ECB, i is the baseline energy consumption, in MWh, of the ith lighting system, given by equation 3.

ECP, i is the energy consumption, in MWh, of the ith lighting system following the completion of the lighting upgrade, given by equation 4.

EFelec,i is:(a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the

NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or

(b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:

(i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity and is applicable on the declaration day—that factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour; or

(ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2-e per kilowatt hour, for off-grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day.

For subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition of EFelec,i, the emissions factor must be worked out:

on a sent-out basis; andusing a measurement or estimation.

Equation 3—baseline energy consumption for a lighting system (ECB,i)

The baseline energy consumption, ECB,i, is an estimation of the amount of energy that would have been consumed by the lighting system during the reporting period had there been no lighting upgrade.

For section 19, ECB,i is worked out using the formula (equation 3):

E CB ,i=∑j=1

where:

m is the number of lamps or luminaires in the lighting system immediately before the commencement of the lighting upgrade.

LB,i,j is the baseline energy consumption, in MWh, for the jth lamp or luminaire of the ith lighting system (as it stood immediately before the commencement of the lighting upgrade) that would have occurred had there been no upgrade given by the equation in subsection (2).
