H_pnet × b_EI

where

H_pnet

is the net quantity of useful thermal energy, expressed in GJ, determined by the formula

where

t

is the t^th period, where “t” goes from 1 to x and where x is the total number of periods during which the unit produced useful thermal energy during the calendar year,

i

is the i^th heat stream exiting the unit, where “i” goes from 1 to n and where n is the total number of heat streams exiting the unit,

h_outi

is the average specific enthalpy of the i^th heat stream exiting the unit during period “t”, expressed in GJ/tonne and determined based on the measurement, using a continuous measuring device, of the temperature and pressure of that heat stream,

M_outi

is the mass flow of the i^th heat stream exiting the unit during period “t”, expressed in tonnes and determined using a continuous measuring device,

j

is the j^th heat stream, other than condensate return, entering the unit, where “j” goes from 1 to m and where m is the total number of heat streams entering the unit,

h_inj

is the average specific enthalpy of the j^th heat stream, other than condensate return, entering the unit during period “t”, expressed in GJ/tonne and determined based on the measurement, using a continuous measuring device, of the temperature and pressure of that heat stream, and

M_inj

is the mass flow of the j^th heat stream, other than condensate return, entering the unit during period “t”, expressed in tonnes and determined using a continuous measuring device; and

b_EI

is the emission intensity of a reference boiler, set to 0.0556 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per GJ.
