In the case of biofuels and bioliquids, all co-products shall be taken for the purposes of that calculation. No emissions shall be allocated residues. Co-products that have a negative energy content shall be considered energy content of zero for the purposes of the calculation.

Part C of this Schedule
Heat or waste heat is used to generate cooling (chilled air or water) absorption chillers. Therefore, it is appropriate to calculate only the emissions the heat produced per MJ of heat, irrespectively if the end-use of the heat is or cooling via absorption chillers.
The formula for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from the cultivation of raw materials e describes cases where feedstock is ec biofuels in one step. For more complex supply chains, adjustments are calculating greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction or cultivation of e for intermediate products. ec
Measurements of soil carbon can constitute such evidence, e.g. by a first in advance of the cultivation and subsequent ones at regular intervals apart. In such a case, before the second measurement is available, increase would be estimated on the basis of representative experiments or soil the second measurement onwards, the measurements would constitute the determining the existence of an increase in soil carbon and its magnitude.
The quotient obtained by dividing the molecular weight of CO (44.010 2 molecular weight of carbon (12.011 g/mol) is equal to 3.664.

METHODOLOGY
Greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of biomass fuels, calculated as follows:
(a) Greenhouse gas emissions from the production and fuels before conversion into electricity, heating and cooling, shall as:
E = e + e + e + e + e – e – e – e , ec l p td u sca ccs ccr
Where
E = total emissions from the production of the fuel before energy conversion;
e = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials; ec e = annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use l e = emissions from processing; p e = emissions from transport and distribution; td e = emissions from the fuel in use; u e = emission savings from soil carbon accumulation via improved sca management;
e = emission savings from CO capture and geological storage; ccs 2
e = emission savings from CO capture and replacement. ccr 2
Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall into account.
(b) In the case of co-digestion of different substrates in for the production of biogas or biomethane, the typical and default greenhouse gas emissions shall be calculated as:
where:
E = greenhouse gas emissions per MJ biogas or biomethane produced digestion of the defined mixture of substrates
S = Share of feedstock n in energy content n (SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA)
Emission in g CO /MJ for pathway n as provided in Part D of this Schedule 2
energy yield [MJ] per kilogram of wet input of feedstock n (**)
weighting factor of substrate n defined as:
Annual input to digester of substrate n [tonne of fresh matter]
Average annual moisture of substrate n [kg water/kg fresh matter]
Standard moisture for substrate n (***).
For animal manure used as substrate, a bonus of 45g CO eq/MJ manure (– 2 fresh matter) is added for improved agricultural and manure management.
The following values of P shall be used for calculating typical and default n
P(Maize): 4.16 [MJ /kg ] biogas wet maize @ 65% moisture

(c) In the case of co-digestion of n substrates in a biogas plant for the production of electricity or biomethane, actual greenhouse gas emissions of biogas and biomethane are calculated as follows:
where:
E = total emissions from the production of the biogas or biomethane conversion;
S = Share of feedstock n, in fraction of input to the digester; n e = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of feedstock n; ec,n e = emissions from transport of feedstock n to the digester; td,feedstock,n e = annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use l,n for feedstock n;

(*) For e a bonus of 45g CO eq/MJ manure shall be attributed sca 2 agricultural and manure management in the case animal manure is used as the production of biogas and biomethane.
(d) Greenhouse gas emissions from the use of biomass producing electricity, heating and cooling, including the energy electricity and/or heat or cooling produced, shall be calculated as
(i) For energy installations delivering only heat: (SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA)
(ii) For energy installations delivering only electricity:
Total greenhouse gas emissions from the final energy commodity.
greenhouse gas emissions of the fuel before end-conversion.
electrical efficiency, defined as the annual electricity produced divided fuel input, based on its energy content.
heat efficiency, defined as the annual useful heat output divided by the input, based on its energy content.
(iii) For the electricity or mechanical energy coming from energy installations delivering useful heat together with electricity and/or mechanical energy:
(iv) For the useful heat coming from energy installations delivering heat together with electricity and/or mechanical energy:
Total greenhouse gas emissions from the final energy commodity.

electrical efficiency, defined as the annual electricity produced divided energy input, based on its energy content.
heat efficiency, defined as the annual useful heat output divided by the input, based on its energy content.
Fraction of exergy in the electricity, and/or mechanical energy, set to 100%
C = Carnot efficiency (fraction of exergy in the useful heat). h
The Carnot efficiency, C , for useful heat at different temperatures is h where:
T = Temperature, measured in absolute temperature (kelvin) of the h point of delivery.
T = Temperature of surroundings, set at 273.15 kelvin (equal to 0°C). 0
If the excess heat is exported for heating of buildings, at a temperature 150°C (423.15 kelvin), C can alternatively be defined as follows: h
C = Carnot efficiency in heat at 150°C (423.15 kelvin), which is: h
For the purposes of that calculation, the following definitions apply:
(i) "cogeneration" shall mean the simultaneous generation process of thermal energy and electricity and/or mechanical energy;
(ii) "useful heat" shall mean heat generated to satisfy justifiable demand for heat, for heating or cooling purposes;
(iii) "economically justifiable demand" shall mean the demand not exceed the needs for heat or cooling and which would otherwise market conditions.
