 Calculating weighted average

11.03  (1)  For the purposes of section 6 (1) of the Act, the weighted average of the carbon intensities of all Part 3 fuels a Part 3 fuel supplier supplies in a compliance period, before taking into account notional transfers under section 8 (1) of the Act, is determined using the following formula:

 sum of (CI x EC for each fuel)
weighted average =
 sum of (EER x EC for each fuel)

where

CI = carbon intensity of each fuel;
EC = energy content of each fuel;
EER = the energy effectiveness ratio of each fuel.

(2)  For the purposes of section 6 (1) of the Act, the weighted average of the carbon intensities of all Part 3 fuels a Part 3 fuel supplier supplies in a compliance period, taking into account notional transfers under section 8 (1) of the Act, is determined using the following formula:

 sum of (CI x EC for each fuel) – NEcredit+ NEincrease
weighted average =
 sum of (EER x EC for each fuel)

where

CI = carbon intensity of each fuel;
EC = energy content of each fuel;
EER = the energy effectiveness ratio of each fuel;
NEcredit = notional emissions credited under section 8 of the Act;
NEincrease = notional emissions increased under section 8 of the Act.

(3)  In this section:

"carbon intensity", in relation to a fuel, means the carbon intensity determined for the fuel under section 11.04, 11.06 or 11.07;

"energy content" and "energy effectiveness ratio", in relation to a fuel, have the same meanings as in section 10 (1.1) of the Act;

"notional emissions credited under section 8 of the Act" has the same meaning as "notional emissions credited under section 8" in section 10 (1.1) of the Act;

"notional emissions increased under section 8 of the Act" has the same meaning as "notional emissions increased under section 8" in section 10 (1.1) of the Act.

(4)  For the purposes of the definition of "energy content" in section 10 (1.1) of the Act, the energy density set out for the fuel in the Table is prescribed.
