Paragraph 6 Interpretation: generalF1

In this Schedule—

• “EG CO₂”, in relation to a generator, means the carbon dioxide produced by, or in connection with, the generation of electricity by the generator;

• “qualifying complete CCS system” means a system of plant and facilities for—

  1. (a)

     capturing some or all of the carbon dioxide (or any substance consisting primarily of carbon dioxide) that is produced by, or in connection with, the generation of electricity by a generating station;

  2. (b)

     transporting the carbon dioxide (or substance captured); and

  3. (c)

     disposing of it by way of permanent storage;

• “the relevant amount of EG CO₂”, in relation to a generator, means—

  1. (a)

     90% of EG CO₂ produced by the generator each year, or

  2. (b)

     where the use of best available techniques (within the meaning given in Article 3(10) of the Industrial Emissions Directive) would result in a greater rate of capture of EG CO₂ produced by the generator each year, that amount of EG CO₂;

• “relevant generator” means—

  1. (a)

     an in-scope generator, or

  2. (b)

     an in-scope generator as refurbished (whether or not substantially refurbished);

• “standard relevant generator” means a relevant generator that is a standard facility.

For the purposes of this Schedule, a generator is “substantially refurbished” if the cost of refurbishing a combustion plant exceeds 50% of the investment cost for a comparable new combustion plant.
