Summary Calculations Clause Samples

Summary Calculations. A summary of the overall valuation calculations -------------------- that sets out at least the discount rate(1), net present value of cash flows discounted, net present value of the terminal value and the value of redundant assets where applicable and the value result.

Summary Calculations. The calculator details a summary table of the GHG emissions (in kg CO2 equivalent / t biodiesel) associated with each of the sections of the production chain. A summary bar chart of GHG emissions associated with each section of the biodiesel production supply chain is shown. The chart serves to graphically highlight the major GHG- emitting areas of the supply chain. The summary also states the percentage GHG savings of the calculated biodiesel supply chain with respect to the corresponding fossil fuel (diesel). Farm audits have been developed with the aim of allowing the GHG emissions associated with the feedstock production for biofuels to be calculated at the farm-level. To date, two years of audits have been carried out by auditing body CMi using questionnaires developed in collaboration with Imperial College London. An overview of the rationale and key findings from the farm audits is presented in WP7 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ / Processor Best Practices Report. The farm audits have been developed with two questions in mind, what information we would like from farmers, and what information can reasonably be collected from farmers. The audits have demonstrated that the majority of the desired information from farmers is readily available, but the problem has been interpreting this data. A wide variety of different practices are carried out on farms, and this has been easily recorded. However what influences these practices and what the GHG implications resulting from them are, is less certain. The most influential GHG emissions factor, N fertiliser application rate, is highly variable, for example from 100 to 270kg/ha for oil seed rape. There is a pattern that, for organic soils, N fertiliser rates are significantly reduced, possibly due to the higher N levels present in the soil. However, the gains from the resulting lower emissions may need to be offset by increased carbon-based emissions resulting from the oxidation of the SOC in these high- organic-matter soils. Cultivation options show no apparent relationship between soil or crop type, but are likely to be determined by previous cultivations, as well as local preferences / situations / habits. Using present GHG emission calculations, cultivation has relatively low emission factors, but further research on the role of cultivation in soil CO2 and N2O fluxes might alter this. When more accurate information on the implications of different cultivation regimes, soil types and fertilisers is available, the audit system, to...
