(3)

The reporting year;

(4)

Reference to and version number of the relevant approved monitoring plan;

(5)

Relevant changes in the operations of an installation and changes as well as temporary deviations that occurred during the reporting period to the monitoring plan approved by the competent authority; including temporal or permanent changes of tiers, reasons for those changes, starting date for the changes, and starting and ending dates of temporal changes;

(6)

Information for all emissions sources and source streams consisting of at least:

(a)

the total emissions expressed as t CO_2(e);

(b)

where greenhouse gases other than CO₂ are emitted, the total emissions expressed as t;

(c)

whether the measurement or the calculation methodology referred to in Article 21 is applied;

(d)

the tiers applied;

(e)

activity data:

(i)

in the case of fuels the amount of fuel (expressed as tonnes or Nm³) and the net calorific value (GJ/t or GJ/Nm³) reported separately;

(ii)

for all other source streams the amount expressed as tonnes or Nm³;

(f)

emission factors, expressed in accordance with the requirements set out in Article 36(2); biomass fraction, oxidation and conversion factors, expressed as dimensionless fractions;

(g)

where emission factors for fuels are related to mass instead of energy, proxy data for the net calorific value of the respective source stream;

(7)

Where a mass balance methodology is applied, the mass flow, and carbon content for each source stream into and out of the installation; biomass fraction and net calorific value, where relevant;

(8)

Information to be reported as memo items, consisting of at least:

(a)

amounts of biomass combusted, expressed in TJ, or employed in processes, expressed in t or Nm³;

(b)

CO₂ emissions from biomass, expressed in t CO₂, where measurement-based methodology is used to determine emissions;

(c)

a proxy for the net calorific value of the biomass source streams used as fuel, where relevant;

(d)

amounts and energy content of bioliquids and biofuels combusted, expressed in t and TJ;

(e)

CO₂ transferred to an installation or received from an installation, where Article 49 is applicable, expressed in t CO₂;

(f)

inherent CO₂ transferred to an installation or received from an installation, where Article 48 is applicable, expressed in t CO₂;

(g)

where applicable, the name of the installation and its identification code as recognised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011:

(i)

of the installation(s) to which CO₂ is transferred in accordance with points (e) and (f) of this point (8);

(ii)

of the installation(s) from which CO₂ is received in accordance with points (e) and (f) of this point (8);

(h)

transferred CO₂ from biomass, expressed in t CO₂;

(9)

Where a measurement methodology is applied:

(a)

where CO₂ is measured as the annual fossil CO₂-emissions and the annual CO₂-emissions from biomass use;

(b)

the measured greenhouse gas concentrations and the flue gas flow expressed as an annual hourly average, and as an annual total value;

(10)

Where a methodology referred to in Article 22 is applied, all data necessary for determining the emissions for the emission sources and source streams for which that methodology is applied, as well as proxy data for activity data, calculation factors and other parameters which would be reported under a tier methodology;

(11)

Where data gaps have occurred and have been closed by surrogate data in accordance with Article 65(1):

(a)

the source stream or emission source to which each data gap applies;

(b)

the reasons for each data gap;

(c)

the starting and ending date and time of each data gap;

(d)

the emissions calculated based on surrogate data;

(e)

where the estimation method for surrogate data has not yet been included in the monitoring plan, a detailed description of the estimation method including evidence that the methodology used does not lead to an underestimation of emissions for the respective time period;

(12)

Any other changes in the installation during the reporting period with relevance for that installation’s greenhouse gas emissions during the reporting year;

(13)

Where applicable, the production level of primary aluminium, the frequency and average duration of anode effects during the reporting period, or the anode effect overvoltage data during the reporting period, as well as the results of the most recent determination of the installation-specific emission factors for CF₄ and C₂F₆ as outlined in Annex IV, and of the most recent determination of the collection efficiency of the ducts;

(14)

Waste types used within the installation and emissions resulting from their use as fuels or input materials shall be reported using the classification of the Community list of wastes specified in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste(1). For those purposes the respective six digit codes shall be added to the names of the relevant waste types used in the installation.

Emissions occurring from different emission sources, or source streams of the same type of a single installation belonging to the same type of activity may be reported in an aggregate manner for the type of activity.

Where tiers have been changed within a reporting period, the operator shall calculate and report emission as separate sections of the annual report for the respective parts of the reporting period.

Operators of CO₂ storage sites may use simplified emission reports after closure of the storage site in accordance with Article 17 of Directive 2009/31/EC containing at least the elements listed under points 1 to 5, provided the greenhouse gas emissions permit contains no emission sources.
