(a) LDCs and fractionators shall, for each individual product reported under this part, calculate the estimated CO2 emissions that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the products supplied using either of Calculation Methodology 1 or 2 of this subpart:
(1) Calculation Methodology 1. NGL fractionators shall estimate CO2 emissions that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the product(s) supplied using Equation NN-1 of this section. LDCs shall estimate CO2 emissions that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the product received at the city gate using Equation NN-1. For each product, use the default value for higher heating value and CO2 emission factor in Table NN-1 of this subpart. Alternatively, for each product, a reporter-specific higher heating value and CO2 emission factor may be used, in place of one or both defaults provided they are developed using methods outlined in Sec. 98.404. For each product, you must use the same volume unit throughout the equation.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30OC09.163 Where: CO2. = Annual CO2 mass emissions that would result
from the combustion or oxidation of each product ``h'' for
redelivery to all recipients (metric tons).Fuelh = Total annual volume of product ``h'' supplied (volume
per year, in thousand standard cubic feet (Mscf) for natural
gas and bbl for NGLs).HHVh = Higher heating value of product ``h'' supplied (MMBtu/
Mscf or MMBtu/bbl).EFh = CO2 emission factor of product ``h'' (kg
CO2/MMBtu).1x10-3 = Conversion factor from kilograms to metric tons (MT/
kg).
(2) Calculation Methodology 2. NGL fractionators shall estimate CO2 emissions that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the product(s) supplied using Equation NN-2 of this section. LDCs shall estimate CO2 emissions that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the product received at the city gate using Equation NN-2. For each product, use the default CO2 emission factor found in Table NN-2 of this subpart. Alternatively, for each product, a reporter-specific CO2 emission factor may be used in place of the default factor, provided it is developed using methods outlined in Sec. 98.404. For each product, you must use the same volume unit throughout the equation.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30OC09.164 Where: CO2. = Annual CO2 mass emissions that would result

(2)(i) For natural gas delivered to large end-users, use Equation NN-4 of this section and the default values for the CO2 emission factors found in Table NN-2 of this subpart. A large end-user means any end-user facility receiving greater than or equal to 460,000 Mscf of natural gas per year. If the LDC does not know the total quantity of gas delivered to the end-user facility based on readily available information in the LDCs possession, then large end-user means any single meter at an end-user facility to which the LDC delivers equal to or greater than 460,000 Mscf per year.

A large end-user means any end-user facility receiving greater than or equal to 460,000 Mscf of natural gas per year. If the LDC does not know the total quantity of gas delivered to the end-user facility based on readily available information in the LDCs possession, then large end-user means any single meter at an end-user facility to which the LDC delivers equal to or greater than 460,000 Mscf per year.

the reporting year (Mscf per year).EF = Annual average CO2 emission factor for natural gas

Use the default value for the CO2 emission factors found in Table NN-2 of this subpart. Alternatively, a reporter-specific CO2 emission factor may be used, provided it is developed using methods outlined in Sec. 98.404.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29NO13.029 Where: CO2. = Annual CO2 mass emissions that would result
from the combustion or oxidation of natural gas received that

not otherwise accounted for by Equation NN-1 or NN-2 of this
section (natural gas from producers and natural gas processing
plants from local production, or natural gas that was received
