E = eec + el + ep + etd + eu – esca – eccs – eccr – eee ,

where

E

  • total emissions from the use of the fuel;

    • eec

  • emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials;

    • el

  • annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use change;

    • ep

  • emissions from processing;

    • etd

  • emissions from transport and distribution;

    • eu

  • emissions from the fuel in use;

    • esca

  • emission saving from soil carbon accumulation via improved agricultural management;

    • eccs

  • emission saving from carbon capture and geological storage;

    • eccr

  • emission saving from carbon capture and replacement; and

    • eee

  • emission saving from excess electricity from cogeneration.

    • Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account.
