Carbon Emissions means carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted when fossil fuels are burned in vehicles, buildings, industrial processes and so on. CO2 is one of the Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) identified by the Kyoto Protocol, which warm the atmosphere. There are six greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorocarbons, often referred to together as ‘carbon dioxide equivalent’ (CO2e). Nitrous oxide from diesel and petrol combustion is a potent greenhouse gas and also prejudicial to human health when inhaled. ‘Carbon emissions’ is often used as a catch-all term to include both carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Carbon Emissions where used in this Part means carbon emissions as defined in Additional Note 11 to Chapter 99 of Part 1 of Schedule No. 1.”

Examples of Carbon Emissions in a sentence

• Zero Net Carbon Building Carbon Emissions Site Energy On-site renewable energy generation + purchased off-site renewable energy meets operational energy consumption, on an annual basis.

• In the financial model, the accumulated balance of the Carbon Emissions Rider is expected to be about $0.9 million in 2024.

• It is intended that the revenues from the Carbon Emissions Rider will effectively be held in trust to be applied to a future low carbon energy source, or in the event a low carbon energy source is not available or feasible within the timeframe contemplated in the Project Plan, Corix may use the funds to acquire external offsets as necessary.

• Zero Carbon Building Carbon Emissions Site Energy On-site renewable energy meets operational energy consumption: Scope 1 & 2.

• In the year that the Alternate Energy Source is utilized, the accumulated balance (with an interest amount in favour of the customers, reflecting Corix’s after-tax weighted average cost of capital) of the Carbon Emissions Rider will be applied against the finished construction cost of the CEP in calculating the plant in service amount for rate-setting purposes.

• Total depreciated rate base assets for this purpose include the residential revenue deferral account balance, and is net of the Carbon Emissions Rider account balance that benefits the NDES customers and is expected to be used to offset the capital cost of the CEP in year 2024.

• Carbon Negative Building Carbon Emissions Site Energy On-site and near-site renewable energy + purchased off-site renewable energy exceeds operational energy consumption.

• Carbon Neutral Building Carbon Emissions Site Energy On-site renewable energy + purchased off- site renewable energy and/or REC at a maximum of 20% required reduction) meets operational energy consumption, on an annual basis.

• Eligible Customer-Generators wishing to participate in this Schedule must obtain and maintain certification as a Qualifying Combined Heat and Power (CHP) System pursuant to the California Energy Commission (CEC) Guidelines For Certification of Combined Heat and Power Systems Pursuant to the Waste Heat and Carbon Emissions Reduction Act, Public Utilities Code Section 2840 et seq.

• The temporary Carbon Emissions Rider charged to customers is added to the cost of fuel.

More Definitions of Carbon Emissions

Carbon Emissions for a period means the total amount of carbon equivalent greenhouse gas emissions associated with Energy Consumption during that period, expressed in metric tonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide (tCO2e) and calculated using the following formula:

Carbon Emissions means carbon emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil, shale, and bitumen, in a Generating Unit, expressed in metric tons.

Carbon Emissions has the meaning set out in Appendix 2D [Energy]; “Carbon Guarantee” has the meaning set out in Appendix 2D [Energy]; “Carbon Target” has the meaning set out in Appendix 2D [Energy];

Carbon Emissions means the total amount of carbon dioxide, measured in tonnes, resulting from the application of the relevant Emissions Factor to each relevant quantity of Fuel (and, where appropriate, aggregating the results from each Fuel to give an overall figure);

Carbon Emissions means greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere that contribute to climate change, including but not limited to carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Carbon emissions are expressed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
