    A – B

    where

    A
    is the total quantity of GHGs from the covered facility, expressed in CO2e tonnes, during the compliance period,
    • (a) in the case of a facility referred to in paragraph 11(1)(a), determined in accordance with section 17,

    • (b) in the case of a facility referred to in paragraph 11(1)(b), corresponding to the sum referred to in subparagraph 11(1)(b)(ii), and

    • (c) in the case of a facility referred to in paragraph 11(1)(c), corresponding to the sum referred to in subparagraph 11(1)(c)(i); and

    B
    is the quantity of CO2 captured at the covered facility that is stored during the compliance period in a storage project, determined using the quantification method described in section 1 of the GHGRP, expressed in CO2e tonnes.
  • Marginal note:Storage requirements

    (2) For the purposes of the description of B in subsection (1), the quantity of CO2 may only be included if it has been permanently stored in a storage project that meets the following criteria:

    • (a) the geological site into which the CO2 is injected is

      • (i) a deep saline aquifer for the sole purpose of storage of CO2, or

      • (ii) a depleted oil reservoir for the purpose of enhanced oil recovery; and

    • (b) the quantity of CO2 stored for the purposes of the project is captured, transported and stored in accordance with the laws applicable to Canada or a province or applicable to the United States or one of its states.

  • Marginal note:Biomass

    (3) The quantity of CO2 from biomass is not included in the amount determined for B in subsection (1).

  • Marginal note:Deemed emission of CO2

    (4) For greater certainty, the quantity of CO2 from a covered facility that has been captured but has not been permanently stored in a storage project that meets the requirements of subsection (2) is deemed to have been emitted by the covered facility and is included in the quantity of GHGs that are emitted from the covered facility.
