Method of detection
(1) Emissions shall be determined using a calculation-based procedure or a measurement-based procedure or a combination of both methods in the case of the determination of emissions from different sub-sources and source streams covered by a single installation. In this combined emission determination, the installation operator shall ensure that there is no omission or double counting. The operator of the installation shall detect emissions in accordance with the principles set out in Annex 1 to this Regulation.
(2) The operator of the installation shall provide a detailed description of the survey procedure for its installation, which is part of the application for greenhouse gas emission permit pursuant to Section 4 of the Act. The description of the survey procedure for the installation shall include:

(n) information on the relevant linkage with activities carried out in the context of the management and audit of the environment, where such activities are carried out, in particular on procedures and controls with relevance to the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
Measurement
(1) Measurement of emissions by continuous measurement systems for each sub-source may be proposed by the installation operator if:
(a) CEN, ISO or CSN standards are applied;
(b) an analysis of the uncertainties referred to in Article 16 (1) is submitted,
(c) the measurement reliably provides more accurate results than the calculation using a combination of highest precision levels; or
(d) the comparison of measurement and calculation is based on the same list of sources and emissions.
(2) For each reporting period, the operator of the installation shall confirm compliance of the measured values with the values calculated by the validation calculation in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 5. In general, lower precision levels, i.e. minimum tier 1, can be used for confirmatory emission calculations.
(3) Only standard measurement procedures in order CEN, ISO, CSN can be used to determine CO2 concentrations and the volume flow of flue gases or other input gas.
(4) The operator of the installation shall ensure that its functionality and behaviour, including:
(a) time responses;
(b) linearity;
(c) interference;
(d) the shift of the zero line and span;
(e) accuracy compared to the reference method.
(5) The biomass CO2 emissions measured shall be deducted from the installation's total CO2 emissions on the basis of a confirmatory calculation and subsequently reported separately by the installation operator as a special item.
Calculation
(1) The operator of the installation shall calculate CO2 emissions as the product of the active data, the emission factor and the oxidation or conversion factor or shall use the specific calculations set out in Annex 2 to this Decree.
(2) CO2 not emitted from the installation but transferred elsewhere as a pure substance, as a fuel component or as an input for the chemical or paper industry shall be deducted from the calculated emission level and reported separately as a separate item. In particular, CO2 transferred shall mean:
(a) pure CO2 used for the carbonisation of beverages;
(b) pure CO2 used as dry ice;
(c) pure CO2 used as a extinguishing medium, a cooling medium or for laboratory purposes;
(d) pure CO2 used as a solvent in the food and chemical industries;
(e) CO2 used as raw material in the chemical or paper industry;
(f) CO2 which is part of the fuel exported outside the installation;
(g) carbonates bound in an absorbent product dried by spray from semi-dry flue gas cleaning.
A substance containing 97% or more by weight of CO2 shall be regarded as pure CO2.
(3) The CO2 represented as part of the fuel mixture used in an installation is included in the emission factor of that fuel and is reported as emissions in that installation where the fuel containing CO2 is burned.
(4) Captured and stored CO2 shall not be included in the emissions of the installation.
Emissions from combustion
(1) For combustion emissions, the activity figure is based on fuel consumption. The amount of fuel is expressed in units of energy content in TJ. The fact that during combustion, the bulk of the carbon contained in the fuel is oxidized to CO2, while the part of carbon may remain unoxidized in ash or is formed of soot, shall be taken into account by an oxidation factor expressed as the proportion of the oxidized carbon, where its maximum value is equal to one. The emission factor may include an oxidation factor, in which case the oxidation factor is no longer expressed. The CO2 emissions expressed in tonnes shall be calculated as the product of fuel consumption in TJ, the emission factor expressed in t / CO2 per TJ and the oxidation factor.
(2) The details of the method of calculation are set out in Annex 2 to this order.
Process emissions
(1) In the case of process emissions, active data based on raw material consumption, enforcement or produced product in tonnes or usual cubic metres. The carbon contained in the feedstock which is not converted into CO2 during the process shall be taken into account in the conversion factor. If all carbon in the raw material is converted into CO2, the conversion factor is equal to one. If the emission factor contains a conversion factor, the conversion factor is no longer expressed. The quantity of input material may be expressed either by weight or by volume. The CO2 emissions expressed in tonnes shall be calculated as the product of the active data expressed in tonnes or meters of cubic, emission factor expressed in t / CO2 per tonne or per cubic metre of cubic and conversion factor.
(2) The details of the method of calculation are set out in Annex 2 to this order.
Tier
(1) The level of accuracy is used to determine variables which are active data, emission factors, oxidation or conversion factors. The increasing number of the level of accuracy means higher accuracy; in the case of the same level of accuracy using different approaches, these approaches are distinguished by letters. In the case of the use of alternative procedures marked with the same number and different letters, a change of procedure may be made if it is demonstrated that this change will lead to an increase in accuracy.
(2) For the determination of all variables, the operator shall use the highest level of accuracy for all source streams in all Category B or C installations for the purposes of detection and reporting. The highest level of accuracy may not be applied to oxidation factors and commercial standard fuels for calorific values and oxidation and emission factors. A lower level of accuracy for the relevant variables under the detection procedure may be used only if it is demonstrated that the highest level of accuracy is technically not feasible or requires excessively high costs. Where technically feasible, the operator shall use at least the levels of accuracy specified in Annex 3 to this Decree for all variables of all major source streams.
(3) The lowest tier of accuracy can be used where there are less significant sources or less significant source streams. For least significant sources or for least significant source streams, procedures based on the estimation method and without specified precision levels may be used for monitoring and reporting. For clean biomass fuels, lower precision levels or approaches may be used without specified precision levels, which include an energy balance method, if emissions so calculated would not be deducted from emissions determined on the basis of continuous measurement. A fuel containing at least 97% of the carbon from biomass in the total amount of carbon in the fuel shall be considered as pure biomass. All other sources or sources are considered significant.
(4) If the prescribed accuracy levels cannot be applied to temporary technical problems, the highest achievable accuracy level shall be applied until the return to its original state is achieved. A temporary change shall be reported by the operator of the installation without delay to the Ministry indicating the reasons for the change.
(5) The operator shall fully document changes in the accuracy levels referred to in paragraph 4. The gaps in the data caused by the failure of the measuring devices shall be minimised. Where there is a change in the accuracy levels within the reporting period, the results for the affected activities shall be taken into account and reported in separate emission reporting sections for both parts of the reporting period, i.e. for the period before and after the change in the tier.
(6) The table in Annex 3 to this Decree gives an overview of the required emission levels for the different types of activities referred to in Annex 1 to the Act.
Determination of active data
(1) If the active data required for the calculation of emissions cannot be measured directly before the entry into the process and if this decree does not provide otherwise, it is to be established as a relationship with changes in stocks
Material C = Material P + (Material S - Material E) - Material O,
where Material C is the material processed during the reporting period,
Material P is the material purchased during the reporting period,
Material S is the material stored at the beginning of the reporting period,
Material E is material stored at the end of the reporting period,
Material O is the material used for other purposes (transported elsewhere or sold out).
(2) In cases where this is not technically feasible or would lead to disproportionate costs in determining S material and E material by measurements, these two values may be estimated on the basis of data from the calendar year before the reporting and correlation period with production over the reporting period and documented by supporting and documented calculations and the relevant financial statements. The determination of all other values having an effect on the choice of the level of accuracy shall be carried out in accordance with the guidelines set out in Annex 2 to this Regulation.
Use of emission factors
(1) The emission factor per unit of mass, i.e. tCO2 / t, may also be used in the case of fuel, provided that it is shown that this will achieve a consistently higher accuracy than the standard energy-related emission factor contained in the fuel, i.e. tCO2 / TJ.
(2) For the conversion of carbon into carbon dioxide, the coefficient of 3,664 [tCO2 / tC] shall be used, considering the relative atomic mass 12,011 for carbon and 15,9994 for oxygen.
(3) Higher accuracy levels with higher accuracy requirements can only be applied when complying with the rules set out in Section 12.
(4) The reference emission factors for tier 1 are set out in Annex 4 to this Decree. Where the fuel does not belong to one of the categories of fuels listed in this Annex, the operator of the installation shall include the fuel in a related category of fuels.
(5) Emission factors are determined as follows:
(a) for biomass, an emission factor of 0 is established; CO2 emissions from biomass shall not be counted; actual biomass emissions shall be reported separately from other emissions of the installation in the form set out in Annex 5 to this Regulation; the list of materials considered to be biomass is set out in Annex 6 to this Decree,
(b) for wastes containing fossil carbon and used as fuels, emission factors are not established, the derived values shall be used according to the rules set out in Section 12;
(c) for fuels or materials containing fossil or non-fossil carbon, a weighted emission factor shall be determined based on the representation of fossil carbon in total carbon, i.e. fossil and biogenic; the calculation must be transparent, duly documented and in accordance with the rules set out in Section 12.
(6) All relevant information relating to emission factors, including information sources and fuel analysis results, input or output material, shall be properly documented by the operator and the relevant documentation shall be stored for inspection.
Use of oxidation and conversion factors
(1) The oxidation or conversion factor shall be applied in those cases where the emission factor does not take into account the fact that part of the carbon remains unoxidised.
(2) The calculation of the oxidation or conversion factor is governed by the rules laid down in Section 12.
(3) Where different fuels or materials are used inside the installation and technologically specific oxidation factors are calculated, one aggregated oxidation factor may be determined or an incomplete oxidation may be assigned to only one fuel or material stream and for others the value of factors equal to one.
(4) All relevant information concerning oxidation and conversion factors, including information sources and fuel analysis results, input or output material, shall be duly documented and the relevant documentation shall be stored in case of inspection.
Determination of calorific value and emission factors for fuels, technologically specific oxidation factors, emission factors for non-combustion processes and composition and biomass content data
(1) For procedures applied to:
(a) the sampling of the fuel and its calorific value, the determination of the carbon content and the emission factor, in particular the sampling frequency, sampling procedures, the determination of the calorific value and / or the carbon content for different types of fuels;
(b) sampling of fuel and identifying its technologically specific oxidation factors, in particular for the determination of carbon content in soot, ash and waste;
(c) sampling and determining the composition of the relevant material or the process of deriving the emission factor;
(d) the fuel sampling and the determination of the biomass fraction shall be carried out using the appropriate CEN standards. In the absence of CEN standards, ISO or national CSN standards shall apply. In the absence of any applicable standards, procedures may be implemented in accordance with the draft standards or guidelines adopted by the operator in agreement with the Ministry. The sample taken for the respective bet shall be sufficiently representative.
(2) For the determination of emission factors, carbon content and calorific value, a laboratory accredited according to EN ISO / IEC 17025 shall preferably be used, except where the operator of the installation demonstrates to the Ministry that the laboratory meets requirements equivalent to those laid down in EN ISO / IEC 17025. The relevant laboratories and the related analytical procedures shall be listed in the greenhouse gas detection and reporting plan for the installation.
(3) It is necessary to comply with generally accepted practices for representative sampling and to exclude derived oxidation factors, defined composition, emission factor, determined carbon content, calorific values, emission factors and biomass deposits that are not sufficiently representative and are subject to a systematic error.
(4) The emission and oxidation factors established are only applicable to those fuel deposits that have been found to be representative. The full documentation of the procedures used in the relevant laboratory for the determination of composition, emission factor, oxidation factor and biomass ratio, including the full set of results, shall be kept and made available to the authorised person.
(5) The biomass content of the fuel shall be determined, for example, by a method of manual grading of components of composite materials, by a differential method determining the calorific value of binary mixtures and their net constituents or by isotopic methods based on carbon analysis 14. Where the determination of the biomass fraction of the mixed fuel is not technically feasible or is burdened with disproportionate costs, the biomass fraction shall be considered as zero in such cases.
Requirements for low emission installations
(1) An operator of installations with declared emissions of less than 25 kt on average per year during the previous trading period may, if authorised,
(a) use information on the estimation of the uncertainty of the data on the operation of measuring instruments by their supplier, the estimation of uncertainty does not depend on the specific conditions of use of measuring instruments;
(b) use lower accuracy levels, with a minimum accuracy level 1, for all source streams and relevant variables;
(c) determine emissions by a simplified procedure, which means that they need not apply the procedure referred to in Article 3 (2) (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (k) and (l);
(d) determine the use of fuels or materials on the basis of purchase records and estimate changes in stocks without further considering uncertainties;
(e) not to provide evidence of compliance with calibration requirements pursuant to Section 20 for verification of emission reports.
(2) The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to operators of an installation which cannot be based on reported emissions data because they are no longer applicable due to changes in equipment or operating conditions or if verified emissions from previous years are missing, provided that, when a new authorisation or an existing authorisation is issued, it can be assumed that emissions over the next five years will not exceed 25 kt per year.
Uncertainty assessment
(1) The uncertainty in the detection of emissions pursuant to § 3 must be kept to a minimum. The maximum permissible uncertainty shall be expressed on the basis of a confidence interval corresponding to a 95% probability level.
(2) The typical values of uncertainties in determining CO2 emissions in the activities or sub-sources of different emission power E are set out in Annex 7 to this Decree.

(1) Where a calculation-based procedure is used, a combination of tiers including uncertainty for each source of the installation shall be proposed in the description of the procedure referred to in Article 3 (2) and shall be indicated in the annual emission report covering all activities and relevant fuel and material flows. Indication of the combinations of the accuracy levels in the emission report is a sufficient statement of the uncertainty of the reported emissions.
(2) The permissible uncertainty intended for the measuring equipment in the level system shall include the specified uncertainty of the measuring equipment, the uncertainty associated with calibration and the additional uncertainty resulting from the proper use of the apparatus in practice. The reference border numbers in the level system refer to the uncertainty attributable to the resulting value for the entire survey and reporting period.
(3) For commercial fuels or materials, the annual flow may be determined only on the basis of the invoiced amount of fuel or material without any additional separate evidence of associated uncertainties.
(4) The remaining uncertainty in both emission data and emission reporting shall be checked and reduced by standard control procedures ensuring data quality. During the verification process, it shall be checked that the agreed detection procedure is applied appropriately and the quality of the capture process and the reduction of persistent uncertainties is further evaluated through the correct application of standard control procedures ensuring data quality.
Measurement uncertainty
(1) In the case of measurements pursuant to Section 4 (1), the operator of the installation shall submit to the Ministry an analysis of uncertainties based on uncertainties of origin in:
(a) continuous measurement of concentrations - characteristic uncertainty of the measuring device, uncertainty associated with calibration, additional uncertainty associated with how the measuring device is used in practice;
(b) measurement of the mass or volume flow rate of the output flow at continuous emission detection or verification calculation - characteristic uncertainty of the measuring device, uncertainty associated with calibration, additional uncertainty associated with how the measuring device is used in practice;
(c) the application of the calculation method in determining calorific values, emission factors and oxidation factors, or the determination of composition data for carrying out the verification calculation - additional uncertainty associated with how the process is used in practice.
(2) Quantification of the uncertainty resulting from the initial thorough analysis of the uncertainty shall be reported by the operator in the emission report. Quantification of this uncertainty in the emission report is a sufficient statement of uncertainty in the reported emissions.
(3) The operator shall check and reduce the remaining uncertainty in the emission data and in the emission report by means of standard control procedures ensuring data quality. During the verification process, it shall be checked that the agreed detection procedure is applied properly and the quality of the capture process and the reduction of persistent uncertainties is further evaluated through the correct application of standard control procedures ensuring data quality.

(5) Emissions originating from different sources of one installation belonging to the same type of activity referred to in Annex 1 to the Act may be reported cumulatively and assigned to that activity.
(6) Emissions are reported rounded to the nearest tonne. Active data, emission factors, oxidation or conversion factors shall be rounded to avoid distorting reported emissions.
(7) Each activity listed in Annex 1 to the Act carried out in the establishment shall be identified by both codes listed in Annex 8 to this Decree.
Preservation of information
