DEFINITION OF TIERS FOR RELEASED FUEL AMOUNTS

The uncertainty thresholds in Table 1 shall apply to tiers relevant to released fuel amounts’ requirements in accordance with Article 28(1), point (a), and Article 29(2), first subparagraph. The uncertainty thresholds shall be interpreted as maximum permissible uncertainties for the determination of fuel streams over a reporting period. Table 1 Tiers for released fuel amounts (maximum permissible uncertainty for each tier) Fuel stream type Parameter to which the uncertainty is applied Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Combustion of fuels Commercial standard fuels Amount of fuel [t] or [Nm3] or [TJ] ±7,5  % ±5  % ±2,5  % ±1,5  % Other gaseous and liquid fuels Amount of fuel [t] or [Nm3] or [TJ] ±7,5  % ±5  % ±2,5  % ±1,5  % Solid fuels Amount of fuel [t] or [TJ] ±7,5  % ±5  % ±2,5  % ±1,5  %

DEFINITION OF TIERS FOR CALCULATION FACTORS AND THE SCOPE FACTOR

Regulated entities shall monitor CO2 emissions from all types of fuels released for consumption in sectors listed in Annex III to Directive 2003/87/EC or included in the Union system under Article 30j of that Directive using the tier definitions laid down in this section. 2.1.   Tiers for emission factors Where a biomass fraction is determined for a mixed fuel, the tiers defined shall relate to the preliminary emission factor. For fossil fuels, the tiers shall relate to the emission factor. Tier 1: The regulated entity shall apply one of the following: - (a) the standard factors listed in section 1 of Annex VI; - (b) other constant values in accordance with Article 31(1), point (e), where no applicable value is contained in section 1 of Annex VI. Tier 2a: The regulated entity shall apply country specific emission factors for the respective fuel in accordance with Article 31(1), points (b) and (c). Tier 2b: The regulated entity shall derive emission factors for the fuel based on net calorific value for specific coal types, in combination with an empirical correlation as determined at least once per year in accordance with Articles 32 to 35 and 75m. The regulated entity shall ensure that the correlation satisfies the requirements of good engineering practice and that it is applied only to values of the proxy which fall into the range for which it was established. Tier 3: The regulated entity shall apply one of the following: - (a) determination of the emission factor in accordance with the relevant provisions of Articles 32 to 35; - (b) the empirical correlation as specified for Tier 2b, where the regulated entity demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the uncertainty of the empirical correlation does not exceed 1/3 of the uncertainty value to which the regulated entity has to adhere with regard to the released fuel amounts determination of the relevant fuel. 2.2.   Tiers for unit conversion factor Tier 1: The regulated entity shall apply one of the following: - (a) the standard factors listed in section 1 of Annex VI; - (b) other constant values in accordance with Article 31(1), point (e), where no applicable value is contained in section 1 of Annex VI. Tier 2a: The regulated entity shall apply country specific factors for the respective fuel in accordance with Article 31(1), point (b) or (c). Tier 2b: For commercially traded fuels the unit conversion factor as derived from the purchasing records for the respective fuel shall be used provided it has been derived based on accepted national or international standards. Tier 3: The regulated entity shall determine the unit conversion factor in accordance with Articles 32 to 35. 2.3.   Tiers for biomass fraction Tier 1: The regulated entity shall apply an applicable value published by the competent authority or the Commission, or values in accordance with Article 31(1). Tier 2: The regulated entity shall apply an estimation method approved in accordance with Article 75m(3), second subparagraph. Tier 3a: The regulated entity shall apply analyses in accordance with Article 75m(3), first subparagraph, and in accordance with Articles 32 to 35. Where a regulated entity assumes a fossil fraction of 100 % in accordance with Article 39(1), no tier shall be assigned for the biomass fraction. Tier 3b: For fuels originating from a production process with defined and traceable input streams, the regulated entity may base the estimation on a mass balance of fossil and biomass carbon entering and leaving the process, such as the mass balance system in accordance with Article 30(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. 2.4.   Tiers for the scope factor Tier 1: The regulated entity shall apply a default value in accordance with Article 75l(3) or (4). Tier 2: The regulated entity shall apply methods in accordance with Article 75l(2), points (e) to (g). Tier 3: The regulated entity shall apply methods in accordance with Article 75l(2), points (a) to (d).’;
