pressure with the exception of ethylene.\2\ Ethylene HHV determined at 41 [deg]F (5 [deg]C) and saturation

pressure.\3\ Use of this default HHV is allowed only for: (a) Units that combust

MSW, do not generate steam, and are allowed to use Tier 1; (b) units

that derive no more than 10 percent of their annual heat input from

MSW and/or tires; and (c) small batch incinerators that combust no

more than 1,000 tons of MSW per year.\4\ Reporters subject to subpart X of this part that are complying with

Sec. 98.243(d) or subpart Y of this part may only use the default

HHV and the default CO2 emission factor for fuel gas combustion under

the conditions prescribed in Sec. 98.243(d)(2)(i) and (d)(2)(ii) and

Sec. 98.252(a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. Otherwise, reporters

subject to subpart X or subpart Y shall use either Tier 3 (Equation C-

5) or Tier 4.\5\ Use the following formula to calculate a wet basis HHV for use in

Equation C-1: HHVw = ((100 - M)/100)*HHVd where HHVw = wet basis HHV,

M = moisture content (percent) and HHVd = dry basis HHV from Table C-

definitions of the ``Energy Industry'' or ``Manufacturing Industries

and Construction''. In all fuels except for coal the values for these

two categories are identical. For coal combustion, those who fall

within the IPCC ``Energy Industry'' category may employ a value of 1g

of CH4/mmBtu. [78 FR 71952, Nov. 29, 2013]
