N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 6, § 242-8.7
(a) The CO2 authorized account representative of a CO2 budget unit that co-fires eligible biomass as a compliance mechanism under this Part shall report the following information to the department or its agent for each calendar quarter:
(b) An owner or operator of a CO2 budget unit shall calculate and submit to the department or its agent on a quarterly basis the total dry weight for each distinct type of eligible biomass fired by the CO2 budget unit during the reporting quarter. The total dry weight shall be determined for each fuel type as follows:
(1) For solid fuel types:
where: Fj = Total eligible biomass dry basis fuel input (lbs) for fuel type j; Fi = Eligible biomass as fired fuel input (lbs) for fired shipment i; Mi = Moisture content (fraction) for fired shipment i; i = fired fuel shipment; j = fuel type; and, m = number of shipments.
(c) CO2 emissions due to firing of eligible biomass shall be determined as follows:
(2) for any full calendar quarter during which fuels other than eligible biomass are combusted at the CO2 budget unit, as determined using the following equation:
where: CO2 tons = CO2 emissions due to firing of eligible biomass for the reporting quarter; Fj = Total eligible biomass dry basis fuel input (lbs) for fuel type j, as calculated in subdivision (b) of this section; Cj = carbon fraction (dry basis) for fuel type j; Oj = Oxidation factor for eligible biomass fuel type j, derived for solid fuels based on the ash content of the eligible biomass fired and the carbon content of this ash, as determined pursuant to paragraph (a)(12) of this section; for gaseous eligible biomass fuels, a default oxidation factor of 0.995 may be used; 44/12 = The number of tons of carbon dioxide that are created when one ton of carbon is combusted (44/12); 0.0005 = The number of short tons which is equal to one pound; j = fuel type; and, n = number of distinct fuel types.
(d) Heat input due to firing of eligible biomass for each quarter shall be determined as follows:
(2) For all fuel types:
where: Hj = Heat input (MMBtu) for fuel type j; j = fuel type; and, n = number of distinct fuel types.
